Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, substance abuse, and self-esteem issues. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world.

But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you.

From the first moment of successfully leaving our mother's body and beginning to breath on our own, we began a life journey that mirrors our own epic story. This epic is similar to those I used to watch as a child at the Sunday evening movies. Usually a hero, for instance, Hercules, would be engaged in ongoing event-filled days of danger, challenge, and conquest. Along the way there were characters who attempted to thwart his efforts or support his quest. His focus remained resolute and steadfast and was usually met with success. If not doing that hour definitely by part two he would be the victor. Our life challenges, however, are not usually met with the excitement of a movie; and success in overcoming them is not usually with one or even two hours. But like old movies, our challenges involve obstacles, dangers, wonders, and successes of varying dimensions. These challenges for many of us serve to push us forward to take another breath of life and to continue our personal life walk. From each push, breath, and challenge we can choose to learn and experience success or satisfaction with how we are engaging with life. I am Joy Smith McElveen, a licensed clinical social worker in New Orleans, LA.. Like many of you, my epic story is filled with many challenges of major life disappointments, frustrations, illness, fears, anxiety, depression, and anger. However, there was always a sense of wonder which generated happy times, love, and a glimmer of hope-filled days. Focusing on the wonders of hope helps me put challenges and obstacles into a perspective that allows me build change efforts. I think it is having a sense of hope, the real wonder, that pushes us forward despite the challenge. My practice is based on expanding a search for hope within each person seeking to change direction. Living demands that we must continue to grow. We grow through learning and making changes in our sphere of life. Our emotions and thoughts help or hinder our behavior. It is within these areas we need to evaluate, and search for meaning to be productive and fulfilled. My practice is based on using Dialectical Behavior Therapy undergirded with applications from Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches have interconnections with how we can choose to change how we think, feel and behave. They each require that the person seeking to make changes do the work and the helper is alongside working with her/him. I would like to be one of the characters in your epic story who supports your quest for change. I have a BA in sociology from Louisiana State University (now UNO); a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor); and a doctorate from Howard University School of Social Work. I have certifications in each treatment approach listed above.

Hello and welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Brian and I applaud you for beginning this journey we call therapy. Whether you’re new to the experience or you’ve been in therapy before, I am here to help, support and be with you along your journey to wellness and wholeness. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and have engaged individuals, teens and couples in a variety of settings addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal conflict as well as professional and vocational issues. I have also helped clients help themselves improve their self-esteem, coping skills, moods, adjust to major life changes as well as improve problem-solving and decision-making skills. I have a Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan and over 25 years of professional experience. Over the years I have used and custom created many therapeutic approaches, techniques and helped improve clients’ perspectives to help them move forward. Clients are encouraged to actively participate in the therapy process by setting their own goals and evaluating progress towards achieving them. Finally, I am concerned about all aspects of a client’s life including your physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being. I am informal, transparent, and very open; ask me anything! Nothing is “off-limits” during good therapy, and I encourage clients to bring any issues/concerns they may have to the sessions. I value being a very safe, accepting haven for my clients. I see individuals over 18 y/o and couples. Thank you for allowing me to share my background with you. Here are a few reviews of my work from current individual clients: "Having worked with Brian for over a year now, I can say confidently that his approach to therapy is extremely effective. He is a master at guiding you to a better understanding of yourself - he allows you to form your own conclusions, while offering his own insight along the way, which is invaluable. If you’re looking to connect better with yourself, and truly understand WHY you are how you are, I cannot recommend him enough." " I have had the privilege of working with Brian as my therapist, and I can say without hesitation that his support has been deeply impactful in my life. He is incredibly insightful and thoughtful in his approach, always meeting me with patience, respect, and a sincere desire to understand my perspective. Brian creates a space that feels genuinely safe—never judgmental, always grounded in kindness and open-mindedness. His ability to balance professional guidance with compassionate listening has helped me make meaningful progress in how I view myself and the world around me. I am truly grateful for the work we’ve done together and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist who brings wisdom, integrity, and heart to their practice." I have weekday early morning (6:00!) and daytime hours to meet your needs and look forward to working with you!

I am a Connecticut Licensed Psychologist with over 40 years of clinical experience and training. My doctorate is from Yeshiva University, having graduated in 1982, with special focus on Cognitive Behavioral interventions. Areas of interest include mindfulness meditation, energetic healing, Internal Family Systems therapy and the use of E.M.D.R.[ eye movement desensitization and reprocessing]. My work with patients is focused on a compassionate, permissive and non judgmental approach to treatment. While traditional talk therapy can be of significant benefit, the approaches I utilize today go beyond the scope of[ talk therapy] and are more comprehensive in how healing takes place. The results sustain over time and the quality of life that gets restored is impressive. I am passionate about these approaches because they work and I get to see the lives of my patients finding pleasure and enjoyment and freedom from the pain that they came into therapy experiencing. I'm married for over 24 years, have 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I love to bike, swim, play pickleball and hike throughout the world with my wife. I have taken my camera, shooting photographs in this country, mostly the southwest and throughout the world. Many of those pictures hang in our home in the country, where we also have a cabin in the woods.

Whatever it is that you are struggling with, I am certain of one thing, it has been beating you up and convincing you that there is no hope. You’re tired of it, you’ve been fighting it tooth and nail and yet it still persists. You are surviving without any tools and my role to you is to give you a hammer. As someone who has ten years experience working with people who struggle with anger, anxiety, relationship issues, and who struggle with conventional therapy, I have found reliable methods to elevate people to where they want to be in life. I help individuals find practical solutions that work in everyday life and not just in the therapy office. I do this by working alongside them to recreate their narratives, master effective coping skills and fortify mental toughness. I pride myself as being a person first and a therapist second. It’s hard talking about feelings. It is even harder when you are trying to talk about your feelings with a therapist who is putting on a performance. I create an environment where you feel like you are talking with an authentic person, not a clinical robot. I want you to realize your resiliency.

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Bantam is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

Should I find a Bantam therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Bantam licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.
People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.
