Elise Gibney

Elise Gibney, PhD, is a dedicated psychologist committed to helping individuals uncover their best selves. She emphasizes the importance of developing skills and capabilities that lead to happy, meaningful, and successful lives. In a fast-paced culture often obsessed with productivity, it's easy for people to veer off their desired paths and realize they are not living the lives they envisioned. Elise recognizes the complex forces at play, including systemic oppressions that contribute to feelings of fear, anger, perfectionism, self-judgment, and imposter syndrome. Through her compassionate therapeutic approach, she offers a safe space to explore values, reconnect with one's true self, and actively create a fulfilling life. Utilizing a combination of talk therapy along with somatic and mindfulness-based methods, Elise helps clients become more fully embodied. With a passion for empowering women to navigate multiple roles and challenges, she specializes in trauma recovery, the mixed-race experience, stress management, high sensitivity, meditation, spirituality, and empathic fatigue. With over 11 years of experience as a psychologist and supervisor at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, she possesses valuable expertise in working with teens and young adults. Elise understands that life transitions can be both exciting and challenging, and she provides supportive therapy to facilitate a successful journey into adulthood.
