Taima M. Elliott, LCSW 

Founder & Psychotherapist

I’m a Brooklyn native and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care and support to individuals facing diverse challenges. My journey in the field of social work began over a decade ago, initially supporting adjudicated youth with phase of life transitions to now providing individual counseling for young/middle age adults.

 Throughout my career, I have witnessed how transformative individual counseling can be, when rooted in empathy and understanding. Thus, I am driven to create a safe and nurturing space for individuals to navigate their emotions, find heightened awareness and meaning to problematic issues while collaborating with each client to accomplish their desired changes & goals. I believe that each client is the expert of their story, and I am dedicated to empowering my clients through an integrative approach of therapy that includes acceptance, guidance and a little humor.

I am a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (C-CBT)& Certified Grief Counselor (CAGCS). I primarily practice through a relational and attachment-based psychodynamic, specializing in anxiety, depression and complex grief . I am here to walk alongside each of my clients  offering support, understanding, and a genuine commitment to your well-being.

I am a compassionate and dedicated Pakistani-American Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) from Long Island, NY. I embarked on my academic journey at Stony Brook University, earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology before pursuing a Masters in Social Work at the same institution.

As an immigrant from Pakistan with a background shaped by both my cultural roots and my upbringing in the US, I am deeply committed to fostering cultural competence within the mental health field and building bridges to mental wellness. My passion lies in bringing representation and diversity to this space, creating an inclusive environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel seen, heard, valued and understood.

Recognizing the significance of trauma-informed care, I specialize in trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), fostering healing and empowerment in a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. I have worked with adults and children across diverse age groups and backgrounds, supporting them through a variety of challenges and symptoms of diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, etc. My approach is grounded in a strength-based methodology and ensuring a client-centered, solution-focused practice is at the core of my therapeutic philosophy.
