Meet Eliana
My Experience
I have worked in medical, research, education and home settings and have incorporated telehealth as part of my practice. Just prior to working in private practice, I spent 5 years working in a medical center, as part of a multidisciplinary team, where I collaborated with primary care providers, pediatricians, OB/GYN, and other medical providers to address behavioral health concerns for their patients. Throughout my training, I have worked with a variety of age ranges but have specialization in the pediatric and young adult populations. I have extensive experience and training working with minority populations and those who are underserved. I have spent many years supporting families in their homes and providing individualized behavioral therapy for their children.
I am licensed as a mental health counselor to practice psychotherapy in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Washington.
My Education
I have a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago, IL, with a specialty in Child and Family Psychology. I completed my internship at C4 (Community Counseling Centers of Chicago) where I provided screening, assessment and other services in their child, adolescent and young adult department. After graduate school, I trained and worked at The University of Chicago’s Clinical Neuroscience and Psychopharmacology Research Unit (CNPRU) in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, where I administrated psychological diagnostic evaluations to participants involved in clinical research trials. There, I assisted in the creation of a scale to assess aggression in adults, a training video, and in-person trainings to educate research staff on how to administer the scale. Much of the work I was involved in at Univiersity of Chicago was published in various psychiatry journals, such as the journal Psychiatry Research.
