As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of compassionate, client-centered experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the unique journeys of each person who enters my practice, with specialized expertise in addressing stress, anxiety, family dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth.
I am particularly committed to helping clients navigate intricate emotional landscapes, including issues related to self-esteem, communication challenges, social anxiety, and personal transformation. My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for personal empowerment.
My practice focuses on holistic healing, drawing from evidence-based approaches to support clients across diverse life stages—from young adults to those experiencing midlife transitions as well as those caring for their parents. I am dedicated to walking alongside my clients, offering genuine understanding and professional guidance as they work towards emotional wellness and personal fulfillment.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I also have faith base therapy experience for those that are looking for faith based therapy. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elisa Shevlin-Reynolds. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is the only therapist I’ve ever had that genuinely seems like they care. She is also very attentive to checking up on people.
Written on May 27, 2026 after therapy with Elisa for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and anger management
