Hi, I am Elle Laub (she/her) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor. I have dedicated my career to working with individuals recovering from an eating disorder, disordered eating, body image issues, anxiety, and depression. I am currently licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, where all sessions are conducted virtually.
I started seeing Elle in August 2021 because I wanted to address the root causes of my binge eating. Pretty soon after I started working with her, there was a lot of turmoil in my family that severely impacted by mental health and Elle became a lifeline for me.
When I was going through a dark and tumultuous time, she provided me with compassionate support, letting me feel heard and validated, and I was finally able to gain tools to help me understand and regulate my emotions and to interrupt patterns of binge eating and other harmful behaviors.
Elle has always given me a safe space and the opportunity to bring anything and everything to therapy and she is able to continuously support me on my therapy journey. I finally felt safe and stable enough to begin trauma work for something that happened to me ten years ago and I made so much progress in healing.
Seeing Elle has changed my life. With Elle, I have gained so much understanding of myself and my emotions and triggers, and how to manage them. I have so much more compassion for myself and have broken cycles of unhelpful binge eating behaviors and have healthier coping mechanisms now. I am empowered to advocate for myself, and I don’t think I would have reached this point in my life where I feel so positively about myself if I hadn’t started therapy with Elle. I have confidently moved onto a path of healing thanks to her.
I can wholeheartedly say that working with Elle has changed me for the better. Since we began working together, I have made drastic improvements in almost every area of my life… I had originally found Elle by searching for therapists that specialize in eating disorders to tackle my issues with food that I had never previously received help for (although having been to therapy many times in the past).
I didn’t know what to expect and was very reluctant to really dive in at first. However, Elle’s compassion, understanding and ability as a therapist made me comfortable enough to open up and begin to work on behaviors that I hadn’t ever confronted. Now, we have officially reached a year and change working together and I am proud to say that my relationship with food and my body has never been better. And in working through those issues, I was able to find help for a myriad of other problems I was experiencing. When we first began, I was stuck in a job I hated and through our time together, I quit that job and found a new job that I am utterly passionate about.
We have also made so much progress on my anxiety, depression, dating, friendships, family life, you name it! I can’t stress enough how much working with Elle has helped me achieve a peace and calm that I haven’t had in at least 7 years. I highly recommend beginning therapy with her, she is amazing!
