Elinor 's Approach

You can bring whatever you’d like help with into a session, whether it’s clearing triggers or traumas; changing old patterns; fulfilling spiritual longings, etc. I will help you get to the heart, or root, of the challenges you’re dealing with and make the lasting changes you’re longing for. There’s often a feeling of relief, lightness and renewed confidence as old patterns dissolve and exciting, new possibilities open up. I offer a cutting-edge blend of psychotherapy and effortless spirituality that clears difficulties at their source –the key to producing long-term results. This approach organically retrains our nervous system, so we are no longer triggered by old issues. My clients report feeling remarkably different – vibrant, balanced, and deeply renewed from the inside-out. I've found talk therapy alone is often not enough to heal most issues. In addition to talk therapy, I’m highly trained in EMDR; Brainspotting; Meditation/Mindfulness; Hypnotherapy; Body Centered Psychotherapy.

Elinor Nygren Szapiro Background

I have been a psychotherapist since 1982 and have worked in agency settings, community mental health clinics, nursing homes and schools, as well private practice. In these settings I worked with individuals, couples, families and groups. I was on the faculty of Naropa University as a Clinical Supervisor in the graduate psychology department. I also founded and directed an agency called “Successful Stepfamily Services”, which provided education and therapy for blended families as well as for therapists. I’ve presented hundreds of trainings and talks nationally and regionally for therapists as well as the general public. I have advanced training in numerous modalities, including: Brainspotting, EMDR, Trauma therapy, Hypnotherapy, Body centered therapy, Meditation/Mindfulness, and Solution Focused therapy. Personally, I also bring the skillfulness and experience that have come from my own life challenges, personal healing work, and ongoing spiritual quest.
