Elliott Conklin
Introduction
I work with adults and young adults navigating some of the harder chapters of life: parenting struggles, major transitions, school and career pressure, and the kind of diffuse distress that doesn't have a clean name — emptiness, loss of direction, a nagging sense that things should feel different than they do. Others are dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, or a loss of the motivation and confidence that once came naturally. I work with a wide range of presentations, and I have a particular specialty in men's psychology and the unique ways men experience and resist psychological suffering. My approach is primarily psychodynamic. That means we work to understand how your history has shaped the patterns you're living with now, and we use that understanding to build something different. This isn't prescriptive or homework-driven therapy. It's exploratory, honest, and often takes the time it actually needs to take. The research is clear: the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of outcomes in therapy, more than any specific technique or model. I take that seriously. Building genuine trust and a shared sense of direction isn't a warmup to the real work — it is the work.
