About Elnita Ottey: Your Partner in Healing
Dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find lasting emotional wellness through evidence-based, compassionate care.
A PERSONAL JOURNEY
Who is Elnita Ottey?
Greetings! I’m Elnita Ottey, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals, children, adolescents, and families on their journey toward emotional well-being and resilience.
My journey began as a dedicated school counselor, where I saw firsthand how emotional struggles could hinder academic and personal growth. This realization inspired me to pursue clinical mental health counseling to help individuals address the root causes of anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapies, holding certifications in EMDR (EMDRIA Certified) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, genuine compassion, and a belief that transformation and healing are possible for everyone.
Whether through in-person sessions at my office in Monroe, NC, or virtual therapy in licensed states, I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can overcome challenges, discover your strengths, and build a path toward emotional wellness.
