Elias Protopsaltis

Elias Protopsaltis recognizes how difficult it can be to begin therapy and to speak about topics that bring fear, anxiety, or worries about being judged. He creates a therapeutic setting intended as a safe place to address issues that have caused deep pain or stopped forward movement in a person’s life.

He aims to make therapy a practical tool for reshaping life toward the vision each person holds for themselves. Working collaboratively, Elias supports clients through a transformation process that helps life goals come to fruition, and he serves as an advocate when challenges, obstacles, or barriers arise.

He holds California licensure as a marriage and family therapist (license number 91698) and maintains a focused practice working with trauma. Elias draws from a range of approaches - including cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, and object relations therapy - to address post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and grief or loss.

With 14 years of experience providing individual and group therapy in both agency and private practice settings, he combines clinical training and practical experience to support change. His educational background includes an MA in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and a BA in Psychology from San Francisco State University. Elias hopes his message offers a sense of possibility and encourages the belief that positive change is achievable.
