While obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, Elijah began his career in mental health serving adults with developmental disabilities. After graduation he transitioned into crisis stabilization and suicide prevention where he had the honor to work with people from all walks of life. It’s this multilayered experience that allows him to meet people where they are and establish a connection for growth. Elijah prefers a person-centered approach along with a solution-focused mindset, although the benefit of a listening ear is not lost on him. It is his goal to treat everyone as individuals with their own unique experiences instead of simplifying one’s life to their diagnosis. All are welcome.
