Treatment Philosophy
Elisha believes that honest, open, and curious self-exploration is key to personal growth and wellness. She brings a genuine, caring, and often lighthearted presence to sessions, fostering a therapeutic space that is both compassionate and collaborative. Her approach is primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), with a strong focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. Elisha actively participates in exposures with clients, helping build resilience, reduce anxiety, and increase tolerance for uncertainty. She also integrates concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness to support a meaningful, value-driven life.
