Owner, Primary Therapist

Eliana Azarian, CSTIP, QS, LMHC, Ed.S

Hi! I am Eliana Azarian, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of InnerWork. 

InnerWork is not a cookie-cutter treatment with one size fits all approach. I focus on assessment in order to create a treatment plan fit for the specific needs and wants of my patients.

I have worked with all demographics but specialize in substance use, co-parenting/family dynamics, and couples and sex therapy. I am a Certified Sex Therapist Informed Professional.

I dive deep in my counseling style and seek to help you put the work in. My goal is to provide high-quality and accessible care. I am here to guide you on the path of healing - reducing anxiety, depression, and figuring out subconscious behavior patterns. I am here to help you gain insight into why you do the things you do or why you feel the things you feel.

"My vision for the future is to see an increase in society's understanding of mental health as a whole and for mental health to be seen as of equal importance to physical health. Think about it. Our children need physical exams for entrance into schools, camps, etc. Why don't they need routine mental health checkups? I hope to live to see the day when a routine mental check-up becomes common practice. I truly believe we would see a decrease in violence, suffrage, and issues like substance use if we can catch issues early on."
