Dr. Nicole Benedicto Elden

I applaud you on taking this important step in caring for yourself! Seeking help is not easy and requires hope and courage. As a psychologist and coach for the past 19 years, I have been privileged to share in the journey of many adults and couples as they navigate their emotions, identities and relationships. I am also a 1.5 generation immigrant (Filipina), interracially married, parent to a wonderful trans son and comfortable with complexity and nuance. I know you are more than your roles, relationships and careers! Together we will explore how to identify what may be getting in the way of you living a life of truth and authenticity based on your core values. I offer counseling to adults and couples with presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, life stressors and transitions, relationship and marital issues, parenting, evolving identity (life roles, spirituality, sexuality, gender, racial & cultural) work and intergenerational trauma. Groups focused on parenting gender diverse individuals, dissertation, navigating graduate school and supporting therapists of color may also be available. Additionally, I offer IFS informed coaching services focused on life, academia, acting, dissertation work and clinical psychology consultation. I am a published editor and author (www.thrivingingradschool.com) as well as a mental health speaker and presenter. Finally, I am a clinical supervisor for the CUNY Graduate Center Psychological Services Center. Finding the right therapist and coach can be a difficult but worthwhile endeavor. If you feel I may be the right therapeutic and coaching match for you, feel free to contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation. I wish you well in your courageous journey of self-discovery towards your core values!
