Elissa Lafranconi

Elissa Lafranconi, LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor), is the founder and licensed mental health therapist at Etika Logika llc. Elissa offers her clients a customized treatment approach tailored to their unique needs. Elissa's professional training is grounded in psychodynamic theory with a Biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective. Elissa also integrates a variety of therapeutic tools to help clients develop awareness of both their past and present emotional experiences. Such awareness of both past and present emotional experiences can also help us with better understanding ourselves, process difficult life events that are beyond our immediate control and gain clarity for our future steps.

Elissa sees therapy as an holistic medium for self-growth, and works hard to fight the stigma that therapy is not for the "broken, or crazy" people. Therapy provides the tools to help a person understand themselves in order to be able to find acceptance and develop a loving relationship with oneself. According to Elissa's personal and professional experience, once such acceptance and self-love are created, then we can handle the challenges of uncontrollable, external events, and navigate our relational experiences to keep "growing from within."
