Elise Mai-Rose
Therapist, LMSW, ASW
I am a relational and interpersonal therapist, meaning I seek to create a mutual space where we can explore how your relationship with the world affects your relationships with others as well as yourself. I believe you are the expert in your own lived experiences, and that therapy is a collaborative process where we can explore those experiences together. In our sessions, I cultivate a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable showing up as you are, with room for discussion and open feedback.

I believe healing happens in real connection — not perfection. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, exploring both the pain and the potential within your story. My goal is to help you find steadiness, clarity, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself.

Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
What makes my practice different is the realness I bring into the therapy space. I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are, with honesty, compassion, and zero judgment. My approach is deeply humanistic, meaning I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or set of problems. I keep it down to earth and authentic while helping you tap into your own strength, clarity, and resilience. Clients often tell me I’m the kind of therapist who’s real, relatable, and not afraid to go deep, because healing happens when we can be our full selves.
