Eliana graduated with her master’s degree in clinical psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago, IL, with a specialty in child and family psychology.  She completed her internship at C4 (Community Counseling Centers of Chicago) where she worked in their child and adolescent department and focused primarily on helping young people and their families.  After graduate school, Eliana trained and worked at The University of Chicago’s Clinical Neuroscience and Psychopharmacological Research Unit (CNPRU), where she administrated psychological diagnostic evaluations to patients involved in clinical research trials.  She has worked in medical, research and home settings.  Throughout her training, Eliana has worked with a variety of age ranges, but enjoys focusing on the pediatric and young adult populations.  She spent many years working with families in their homes, providing behavioral therapy and most recently she spent the last 5 years working in a medical center collaborating with primary care providers, pediatricians and other medical providers to address behavioral health concerns for patients presenting in the clinic.  Eliana is very skilled at connecting with her patients and places great value on the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship when working with patients.   She works with individuals with developmental, learning, emotional, social and behavioral needs, along with partnering with their caregivers, educational and medical team when appropriate.  Current services include developing individual treatment plans, cognitive and behavioral approaches to target specific concerns, including executive functioning, social skills, different types of anxiety and depression.
