Elaine Lipkin, LMFT

Elaine Lipkin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, addictions, family conflicts, sleep difficulties, parenting struggles, and life transitions. She combines a practical, goal-oriented mindset with a compassionate presence, working with individuals, couples, and families to identify where they feel stuck and to build the tools needed for meaningful change.

Drawing on extensive experience in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, and private practice, Elaine uses a varied set of therapeutic methods and tailors them to each person’s needs. She has specialized training in infertility-related issues and has worked with a national support organization on that topic. Her approach is informed by family systems thinking and an eclectic mix of techniques that support both short-term solution work and longer-term exploration.

Elaine emphasizes collaboration, clear goal setting, and regular evaluation of progress so therapy can be adjusted as needed. Clients have described her as compassionate, attentive, and respectful, and she strives to foster a connection that balances empathy with professional neutrality. She welcomes those seeking practical strategies as well as deeper insight to help them move forward with greater resilience and self-understanding.
