Introduction

Elana L. Chilzer, MS, LPC I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (PC007093) working in the state of Pennsylvania. Working in the mental health field since 2007 has allowed me the honor of working with a broad spectrum of clients. Upon completion of my MS from California University of Pennsylvania, I gained extensive experience working in substance abuse treatment. I entered the private practice realm in 2014 where I began treating individuals, children, and families in an outpatient setting. In 2017, I attended the Albert Ellis Institute in Manhattan where I obtained my Primary Certification in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. In 2022, I returned to the institute to complete my Advanced Certification. I help my clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and assist them to change their thinking in order to experience healthier emotions and behaviors. I provide my clients with an open and non-judgmental atmosphere where they can feel comfortable to express themselves. I am down to earth and have an excellent sense of humor. I am passionate about what I do. Therapy can be a very overwhelming process, I provide my clients with a relaxed atmosphere where they can feel at ease to talk about the difficult parts of life. I take a psychoeducational approach to teach the REBT framework so clients can practice the technique outside of sessions. They will also learn a variety of behavioral coping skills along the way! It is my goal as a clinician to empower my clients, challenge unhelpful thinking, and teach skills that are helpful in easing unhealthy negative emotions. Each session will focus on what one can do to make life better for themselves.
