Worsham El

Worsham El, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who supports adults who feel overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected after carrying chronic stress for a long time. Many people arrive in therapy managing anxiety, depression, burnout, compassion fatigue, or life transitions while also trying to keep everything running for others. Her work offers a place to slow down, catch a breath, and begin understanding what the mind and body have been responding to for years.

Her style is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, grounded in 14 years of clinical experience and practical, real-world understanding. She helps clients make sense of trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and long-held patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, codependency, family of origin concerns, and communication difficulties. Together, the focus is on building a greater sense of steadiness, strengthening emotional regulation, and reconnecting with the body’s capacity for resilience at a pace that respects each person’s lived experience.

Worsham integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with talk therapy, somatic awareness, and mindfulness-based practices to reduce overwhelm and support sustainable change. Sessions are collaborative and tool-focused, emphasizing strategies that translate into everyday life, such as boundary setting, coping with shifting roles and relationships, and working through guilt and shame. Rather than pushing for quick fixes, she aims to meet clients with care, structure, and compassion as they develop more balance, self-trust, and ease.
