Welcome! My name is Jocelyn R. Elliott, LSCSW (Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker) located in Topeka, KS. I have over 16 years of experience providing individuals, couples, and families a safe place to explore challenges, alleviate emotional struggles and embrace their true selves.
I have experience working with the Foster Care system, providing clinical support for adult individuals experiencing crises at a local community mental health center, and was able to develop my skills as an advocate for the disenfranchised members of our society through each of those roles.
I am a member of WPATH, OutCare, and the National Association of Social Workers that further assisted me in my clinical skill development.
My practice is grounded in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and I am excited to announce I am furthering my education, focusing on learning all I can about The Polyvagal Theory.
I currently live with my two adult daughters, their partners, and two grandchildren. (I won’t even mention the five, no, six cats and the dog!) I am thoroughly addicted to binge-watching tv shows and Diet Mountain Dew.
I see individuals, couples, and families through virtual platforms as well as in-person (as needed). I have been in private practice since 2014.
At my core, I believe that every human has the right to reach their best self – as defined by THEM – and only them!
Currently, I am only available to schedule sessions via messaging as my daily session scheduling is subject to change. Once we have established a time, I make every effort to maintain that time for you every week. I find it promotes a sense of connection, responsibility, and consistency.
Sessions scheduled with me usually last approximately 60 minutes and occasionally last a little longer so I ask for your patience and be assured I will provide you with the time you need in your journey.
