Clinical Team

Elsa Obus, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist with a Doctorate in School Psychology. She has extensive experience running loss and bereavement groups for people of all ages. Elsa’s therapeutic approach is informed by IFS, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic modalities. Through this integrated approach, Elsa is able to help clients explore the impact of past experiences and patterns on current behavior, while also assisting them in developing skills for coping and healing in the here and now. While Elsa prioritizes the use of evidence-based practice and methodologies, she also welcomes creativity and curiosity by inviting clients to share their passions and interests in therapy. Elsa creates a safe space for individuals to explore their identities and interactions with these systems and work toward greater understanding of themselves and harmony in relationships. She prioritizes engaging in trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming, anti-racist, and neurodiversity-affirming practice.
