Elaine Kates

Elaine Kates is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist with a PsyD and LCSW. She meticulously tailors her treatment to each client, balancing symptom relief to alleviate current discomfort with an analysis of primary causal factors for long-term resolution. Trained originally as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Elaine brings a hands-on, problem-solving approach to her practice. She later advanced her expertise through formal training as a psychoanalyst, where she developed a deep understanding of the significance of relationships and how to foster a healing, corrective connection with her clients. Additionally, Elaine offers both phone sessions and online psychotherapy, accommodating those who may travel, live outside her area, or simply don't feel well enough to come into the office. For animal lovers, Elaine often incorporates her two greyhounds in her practice, providing arrangements for clients who may not be comfortable with dogs.
