Elisa Nebolsine
Twenty-five years of clinical practice, and I still believe that I have the best job. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist who believes relationships are powerful, research is necessary, and life is supposed to feel meaningful. I work with adults and teens in my Alexandria, VA office as well as online.
I am an adjunct faculty member at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia, Catholic University of America School of Social Work. I teach CBT to therapists nationwide. Washingtonian Magazine has named me a "top therapist" in four distinct categories.

CBT remains one of the best-researched and most effective interventions. CBT is also one of the most hated modalities by therapists. I genuinely believe that CBT is exciting, fun, dynamic, and effective.
