My name is Elysa Thangchaipinyokul, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience providing therapy and support to adult individuals navigating life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California, and from the very beginning, I have always had a passion for helping others heal, grow, and find hope. I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health practice settings, which has shaped my growth as a therapist.

Our First Session

In our first session, my priority is to offer you a safe and gentle space where you can simply be yourself. I’ll listen with care, asking questions to better understand your story while honoring your comfort level. My approach blends practical tools from CBT and DBT with genuine compassion, so you feel both supported and guided. By the end of our session, my hope is that you’ll leave with a sense of relief, knowing you are not alone and that healing is possible.
