Cezanne Elias Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families effectively address personal challenges. My advanced training and experience provide me the skills to meet your treatment goals. I work with individuals, couples and families who present with a variety of concerns, including, but not limited to: chronic health conditions, anxiety, relationship distress, depression, and life transitions.
I use an integrative orientation of care to provide safe, supportive and practical strategies to help clients meet their goals and foster personal and relational growth.
Choosing the right therapist is one of the most important first steps. I look forward to answering any questions you might have about my practice and to helping you assess if I am the right therapist for you.
