Elijah Nella, LMFT

It is difficult to put in words how wonderful Elijah is as a person and professionally what he has done for my relationship. Elijah has to be one of the most comforting, empathetic people I have ever spoken to. You can tell without a doubt he LOVES what he does and will do anything to see you and your relationship succeed. He is a great listener, note taker and remembers everything. He is a true professional and knows how to tackle any issues you may be having. He has given my relationship strength and the tools needed to have a satisfying, happy life.
We saw Elijah for nearly 8 months. Every session progressively strengthened my relationship. We now have someone that can bring additional clarity to situations we have trouble with. Simply put Elijah is the best.

How do I begin to write a review for Elijah? It seems impossible to find words. He helped me to unearth the tools I would need to survive during one of the most difficult times of my life, and then encouraged me to keep using those tools. I slowly began to love and trust life again, and to love and trust my own self. I met with Elijah predominantly one-​and-​one, but also as part of a couple and even had a session which included my sister. In each circumstance it was like having an empath and sage in the room. He is sharp as a tack and has the most intelligent sense humor and playfulness. I’m so grateful for Elijah and I’ll always go back to him when i need to (and when my budget allows).
Note: I was referred to Elijah by my former therapist, Julia Wallace, who is completely brilliant. I plan on writing a review for her too. The universe was smiling on me when these two individuals appeared in my life. Words can’t really properly express how much I adore them!

If anyone in the bay area needs a therapist, I highly recommend Elijah Nella.
He has far exceeded my expectations many time, and has an approach to therapy that, in my experience, has been way more helpful that traditional therapy in the past. In my work with him, he has used different approaches, such as art, meditation/​grounding, mindfullness, as well as traditionally just talking stuffs out. He’s never diagnosed me, or made me feel like what I’m going through makes me ill, or crazy.
He also is super trans AND gender variant competent
Couldnt recommend higher

Elijah Nella is one of the most compassionate, non-​judging, thoughtful therapists that I have been able to chat with. He’s pretty much an angel in human skin, anyone who takes time with him will definitely be moved/​supported/​on their way to healing. I super highly recommend Elijah!

Thanks to Elijah, my relationship is stronger than ever. He is everything Simon T. says in his review and more. He’s patient, understanding, and extremely creative in his approach. In just 5 sessions, he had me and my boyfriend back on track! We can’t thank him enough for all of his awesomeness! If you and your special someone need a little assistance, I would hands down say Elijah is the one to see. :)

Elijah was incredibly understanding, perceptive, and awesome. He made us feel very comfortable and at home as soon as we met him. He never pressured us and just helped our conversation open up. I would recommend him to anyone.
