Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I feel incredible lucky to have gotten to work with El. Right off the bat she was so easy to confide in. She managed to find the difficut balance between giving me hard to hear advice, yet I always felt supported and never judged.  I felt free to cry, to vent, to laugh, and to express whatever I was feeling with her. She opened my eyes to so many new perspectives and ways of thinking that I would have never been able to see alone. Above all, El is a genuinely kind and compassionate human, and I always knew she had my and all of her clients best interests at heart.

— Erica H.

I only have amazing things to say about having El as my therapist. She was always willing to help me dive deep and learn more about myself, but at the same time was a great sounding board when I needed to talk through more minor struggles in my life. Additionally, she would often help me learn and see new insights around things to help me better handle situations both in my workplace and in personal relationships, which helped me succeed overall. I feel mentally healthier today than I was before working with El, and I attribute a lot of that to the help she provided me with.

— Harry M.

I’ve been in therapy for over a decade, and I’ve learned to look for these qualities in a therapist: someone who listens to me, cares about me, challenges me, and teaches effective tools to use outside of sessions. Dr. El McCabe hits all those needs (plus she is just a cool person). Her support of me – in both individual and group sessions – was essential during the time when I was struggling with my identity, sexuality, relationships and personal losses. I shudder to think where I would be now without her help and support. Thank you El, you truly are a lifesaver <3

— Eddie L.

I loved working with El. She creates such a calm and welcoming atmosphere that I felt at ease from our very first session. She is a wonderful listener who truly makes you feel understood, comfortable, and safe. I also really appreciate her sense of humor, which makes the harder conversations feel much more manageable. A great person and I miss her.

— Mariel C.

El is a really empathetic and skilled therapist. I’ve worked with her for several years and I have benefitted greatly from having a supportive space to process and move forward. I consistently feel like she’s rooting for me.

— Gabrielle B.
