Elias Protopsaltis, LMFT

Elias Protopsaltis approaches therapy with an understanding of how difficult it can be to speak about topics that bring fear, anxiety, or concern about being judged. He aims to create a supportive space where painful experiences and stalled life goals can be explored and reshaped, collaborating with clients to move toward the changes they hope to see. Through a combination of advocacy and clinical guidance, he helps clients identify obstacles and develop practical steps to pursue a more fulfilling life.

Elias is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 14 years of experience and a focused practice in trauma. He works with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, LGBT concerns, ADHD, self-esteem and career difficulties, and compassion fatigue. He also provides attention to additional areas such as aging and geriatric issues, body image, fertility and hospice-related topics, infidelity and trust issues, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife concerns, multicultural matters, and mood disorders.

Clinically, Elias draws from several therapeutic approaches to fit each personâs needs, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy. This blend of methods supports a tailored process that addresses symptoms and the underlying patterns that maintain them. Elias seeks to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward goals with realistic, compassionate support.
