I Believe in Post-Traumatic Growth.
HEY, I’M ELI HASTINGS, AND I RIDE WITH PEOPLE TOWARD HEALING.
As of June 23rd, 2026, I have several openings - have to prioritize cash clients, but will make every effort to accommodate insurance!
If you are dubious that psychotherapy can help improve your life, I ask you consider my perspective: “troubled”, sometimes (wrongly) called “broken” people are the most empathic, impressive, resilient humans I’ve ever met. Experiencing trauma and mental illness can be an immense superpower when integrated properly; in itself, it is evidence that we work—our mind-bodies have protected us! Everyone can benefit from the attention of a skilled psychotherapist—or healer of many kinds. I do not believe that talk therapy has the market cornered on anything.
I rarely have room, and provide referral resources I have faith in.
Therapy based in cognition (thinking stuff) has profound limits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and many other practices, are invaluable for gaining skills and tools for psycho-emotional stability. But they are not healing. Therapy modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE). Authentic Shamanic healing practices like Soul Retrieval, Compassionate Depossession and ethical Psychedelic Psychotherapy are painting on the walls of the Mental-Health Industrial complex, announcing the dawn of a post-traumatic stage in this field. And a much faster track to healing, even with complex trauma.
