Elisa Lederer, Mindflow Founder

Welcome To Our Practice

Hello and welcome to our practice! We are a team with over 18 years of combined experience providing individual psychotherapy services to adults ages 16 and over.

Our approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. Theoretical frameworks that inform our work include CBT, IFS, Response and Prevention, Family Systems, and Psychoanalytic perspectives. We firmly believe in human resilience. Our method is collaborative, built on respect, openness, and curiosity.

The human capacity to heal and grow continually inspires us. Our greatest joy as clinicians is being invited to participate in the healing process and the honor of witnessing the possibilities and potentials that come with self-awareness and acceptance.

What Should A New Client Know About Working With Us?

The very core of healing is in the strength of the therapeutic relationship. The experience of vulnerability and connection that grows in the therapeutic space is rooted in our ability to listen, comfort, heal, and empower. Through warmth, respect, empathy, integrity, reliability, challenge, and honesty, the journey to one’s true self—the work of therapy—begins.
When you step into our therapeutic space, you can expect a non-judgmental and confidential environment where your story is honored. We believe that healing is a holistic journey encompassing not only the mind but also the body and spirit. Through compassionate listening and collaborative exploration, we will work together to uncover the layers of your experience, identify patterns, and develop strategies to cultivate self-compassion, self-regulation, and meaningful growth.

What Is Our Typical Process For Working With Clients?

Compassion, collaboration, curiosity, openness, strength, honesty, accountability, humor, patience, and guidance are the cornerstones of our practice.
Our sessions will be centered on you. You will use our time to share how you are doing in daily life and connect your experiences to the goals we are working toward.
At times, you will talk a lot. Sometimes you may sit in silence, and we will be right there with you. You might cry, and at times we may ask questions or introduce new perspectives. You may feel like we are having one long conversation—which can be nice. And if there are moments when you don’t know what to say, that’s perfectly okay. We will help guide you.
