Elena Hendricks, LISW-CP

Elena Hendricks grew up in a small town in southern New Jersey, surrounded by extended family who lived within twenty minutes of one another and helped shape a sense of community early on. She played competitive soccer in her youth and enjoys camping, making art, watching documentaries, and reading, reflecting a lifelong appetite for learning. A mission trip to the Dominican Republic during her junior year of high school ignited her interest in helping others and influenced her career direction. She earned a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from Widener University and holds a Clinical License in Social Work (LISW-CP), a clinical social work license.

Her professional focus is helping people reach their individual goals by identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns, repairing and reconciling relationships, and assisting clients in developing healthy problem-solving skills and effective communication. She places importance on honoring each person’s uniqueness and tailoring therapeutic work to fit individual needs. Using a holistic lens, she considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors when assessing a client’s strengths and needs. This comprehensive approach informs how she supports, guides, and inspires clients as they work toward their goals and healing.
