Heidi Elias, LCSW Hello! My name is Heidi Elias, LCSW, SEP. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) based in New York City. I work with women who suffer from anxiety and/or are survivors of childhood trauma. My own experience with psychotherapy has helped me understand how my childhood experiences have affected me as an adult, and how I can move past them. Since gaining this life changing insight, I’ve made it my mission to help other women do the same. I was recently on the Tearapy Recover podcast, if you want to hear more about my background and approach.
