My practice specializes in helping clients actualize their personal goals. In my approach I attempt to empower clients to modify their thoughts and behaviors in ways that help them meet their particular goals. I also maintain sensitivity to a clients cultural background. I specialize in helping clients with relationship difficulties, anxiety/stress, depression, and impulsivity.
I have extensive experience working with children with behavioral challenges and have developed a free app on managing bullying that is available in the apple itunes store (Hero App). I utilize a culturally sensitive cognitive behavioral and solution focused approach to treatment. I am a father, husband, vegan, triathlete (1/2 Ironman) and a major proponent of the health benefits of regular cardio- vascular exercise, diet and meditation.

Services
I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they're striving for.
Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the ability to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. You already have some strengths that you've used before, that for whatever reason isn't working right now. Perhaps this problem feels overwhelming and is making it difficult to access your past strengths.
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services. Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?.

Some time ago, we (a family member and I) have attempted to contact Dr. Elligan four times (five, actually, but one call may have been to an outdated phone number) to find out if he was accepting new patients. We have left voice mails each time. The last attempt was made via the "contact us" link on his website. This message explained the situation, including the effects of not receiving any response to our inquiries, and I asked him to contact my family member directly. I held off writing this review for a couple of MONTHS, just to give him a chance to respond to that last message.

I saw Dr E based off the yelp reviews here in a troubled marriage situation ... I could not have been happier to find him! Things in my mind were super complex and he helped me peel the onion one at a time. I did end up getting divorced but Dr E was always available when I needed an independent ear to talk to and bounce ideas off. I could not have come out of this situation "saner" without him. Thanks for everything Dr E!

Very good scheduling in terms of accommodation. I was able to get sessions within a week (sometimes days or less than 24 hours) of inquiring.
A good listener, and offered practical, substantive advice that improved the quality of my communication and interaction with family and peers.
When I moved to New York he continued to do sessions via Skype, which was super helpful because I didn't have to start over with the therapist search here.
Highly recommended.

Dr. Elligan provided services to a couple of troubled youth that I've worked with and I could not have been any happier. He was able to relate and get these young men to open up about their troubles in a way that I could not. This allowed them to start working on how to manage their frustrations and this could not be done without the help of Dr. Elligan. I will forever be appreciative.
