Elisa Shevlin-Reynolds, LCSW

Elisa Shevlin-Reynolds is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in New York with 22 years of experience supporting people through challenging seasons of life. Her work is grounded in a client-centered perspective, with attention to each person’s unique story, strengths, and goals. She helps clients address concerns such as stress, anxiety, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, career stress, depression, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Elisa offers a warm, interactive style that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, while avoiding stigmatizing labels. She creates space for clients to explore difficult emotions, understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and build practical strategies for meaningful change, including support around communication difficulties, social anxiety, and personal transformation. Her practice also includes working with clients across life stages, from young adulthood to midlife transitions and the demands of caring for aging parents.

Her approach integrates evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive influences, and she tailors the conversation and treatment plan to the client’s needs. Elisa also has faith-based therapy experience for those who are seeking a faith-based perspective. She aims to walk alongside clients as they work toward greater emotional wellness and a more fulfilling life.
