Book an appointment with William Elder, PhD, Counseling & Therapy,

Therapy with me is practical, thoughtful, and collaborative. We focus on understanding the patterns that once helped you cope, but now limit your freedom. I offer clear language, steady presence, and respect for your strengths, while helping you address what’s actually getting in the way. Together, we work toward change that feels grounded and sustainable.

I work with adults who need space to recalibrate. We'll work together to define the problem and explore how your identities (e.g., race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, etc.) have shaped your experiences. We'll set goals and create a treatment plan that moves you toward a more productive, authentic, values-driven life.

I'm a PhD-level psychologist trained at the University of Utah, with advanced training in trauma psychology at the VA, and teaching experience at UT Medical School. I've spent 20 years helping people change stuck patterns. My work on men, relationships, and trauma has earned national APA awards.
