Dr. Elise Clerkin, Clinical Psychologist

Thank you for being here. Seeking therapy can be stressful, and you deserve a responsive, well-trained, and caring psychotherapist. At Wellness Path Therapy, I provide online counseling to adults in the states of both Ohio and Virginia.

As your therapist, my primary goal is to work together to most effectively meet your needs. My clinical work is primarily grounded in behavioral and cognitive therapies, including approaches that integrate flexibility, values, and acceptance. I also believe in the power of human connection, hope, and resilience, and I believe that we all deserve to lead lives full of dignity and meaning. To read about the areas I help people with, please visit the Mental Health Services page.

Should you choose to work with me, you can be confident that I will be committed to your care while drawing from a range of personal and professional experiences. I received my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Virginia in 2010, and my postdoctoral fellowship from Brown University in 2012. I have been licensed to practice psychology in Ohio since 2013 (#6982) and in Virginia since 2021 (#0810007724). I also have a long career as a scholar and an educator, including working as an Associate Professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Further, I have experience working in the University of Virginia’s Student Health and Wellness Center as a staff psychotherapist.
