Elliot is encouraging, honest, personable and he feels like a friend you’ve known longer than just one session together, even with having to meet over zoom. My wife and I were able to be ourselves and express that while also feeling heard and validated. We’re very excited for this new journey and we believe it will help bring us closer and teach us things we need to know about ourselves.
