Our Founder
Hello, my name is Elvia and I look forward to meeting with you. I am inspired by the interconnection between spirit, soul and body. In my professional and own personal journey, I continue to learn that no one is immune to the human experience and there is actual wholeness in the process of healing. I find that I am most connected and creative when I center myself in prayer and nature thus my desire to be part of the Hik3 Project intiative. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, traveling, hiking and reading.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Internal Family Systems Therapist (IFS IFIO & Somatic IFS, Level 2), extensive training from the Association of Play Therapy and a Precision Nutrition Coach (PN1). I incorporate mindfulness, somatic, and evidence-based modalities that enables an integrative and holistic approach that helps guide others back to themselves and their bodies. I utilize trauma-informed, body centered approaches, and experiential tools: such as sand tray, puppets, holistic medicine and movement equipment (modified for individual needs).
My professional experience and trauma-informed training has been a guide for me to be sensitive to my client's situations and experiences. My hope is to promote healing, transformation and be of impact to faith-based community leaders and counselors who are needing a supportive and safe environment to help with burn-out, anxiousness, depression, grief, church hurt, carry guilt and/or needing guidance with restoring relationships.
As the Hik3 Project continues to grow, I am eager to connect with more people who share our enthusiasm for this initiative. Whether it’s through the educational materials we provide, the community retreats we organize, or the motivational stories we share, I look forward to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for this mission. For those in search of direct clinical services, my own professional practice is distinct but aligns with the Hik3 Project's ethos, focusing on tailored care and individual support.
(currently not seeing new clients)
Join me in this journey of discovery, where each trail leads to new insights about mental wellness and the healing power of nature.
With Gratitude,
Elvia
