Guests Elora Kalish LCSW It was Elora’s children who opened her eyes to the world of psychotherapy. Having been raised in a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” home, it took her children’s experiences to help Elora find the courage to seek assistance for them, and then for herself where she learned not to be ashamed of her feelings and to understand the impact of the stories we tell ourselves. Elora comes to each client feeling privileged to be able to share this part of their journey. She works to build a strong therapeutic relationship – one in which her clients can feel safe and secure to do the hard work of finding their own individual truths in order to create their desired changes. With respect to that every person is the expert on who they are, Elora uses an eclectic mix of interventions to help them move towards and accomplish their goals.
Elora works with adults of all ages to address a variety of issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression grief and trauma. Elora’s private psychotherapy practice is located in idyllic Goshen, NY.

Show Notes In Part 2 of our interview, our guests Bonna Lynn Horovitz, LCSW and Elora Kalish, LCSW wrestle (well, not physically) with how fear of self-disclosing those things we perceive as our limitations affect the work with clients.
Bonna and Elora discuss why we struggle with being the ‘good-enough’ therapist in the absence of decades of experience. We talk about our need to be liked by clients and whether that can affect our approach to them. Whether or not our own codependence has drawn us to this profession, does this serve as an asset, a liability, or both in the work. We explore how the power and presence of human connection in the room (aka the relationship established) impacts the use of whatever evidence-based tools we carry in our toolbox. So sit back, take a break and give yourself a hug.
