Bristlecone Counseling
Elliott Donaldson, LCSW
Elliott Donaldson, LCSW
I use an eclectic, trauma-informed approach to therapy. I consider my primary modality Internal Family Systems, but use elements of several other approaches. These include EMDR, somatic practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, self compassion, and Exposure and Response Prevention. I work with each client to determine a plan for their therapy - including which modalities, skills, and interventions may be the best fit for them.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients. I also focus on work with OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma.
As a queer person, I am passionate about LGBTQ+ individuals and couples receiving affirming therapy. I can consult with folks seeking gender affirming care to provide letters of support following WPATH standards.
I am polyamorous, which can be an important shared identity for ENM folks seeking support, including as a couple/polycule. I am kink positive.
If you have any questions about my approach or want to see if we'd work well together, feel free to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can determine if we would be a good fit.
