Elaine Lipkin is a seasoned Marriage and Family Therapist who brings decades of experience to her clinical work. She has worked in the mental health field since 1975 and became a licensed therapist in 1990. As an LMFT, Elaine holds the credential of Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which indicates specialized training in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate relationship and emotional challenges.

Her career has included roles in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, and private practice, giving her a broad foundation in both acute and ongoing care. Elaine draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, adapting interventions to the needs of each person she sees. She emphasizes goal-setting in therapy, using measurable objectives that can be reviewed and revised as progress unfolds, and she offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term support when that better suits a client’s needs.

Elaine has particular experience with infertility and has received specialized training in that area, including work with a national support organization. She also addresses stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family and parenting concerns, sleep difficulties, and life transitions, as well as aging and geriatric issues and other family-of-origin and blended family topics. Clients have described her as compassionate, respectful, and attentive, and she aims to build a collaborative therapeutic connection that helps people develop practical tools and lasting insights.

Elaine offers therapy tailored to individuals, couples, and families, helping clients identify where they feel stuck, understand current influences on their behavior, and move toward meaningful change.
