Meet Eleanor
Eleanor Mulshine, LCSW (IL)
she/her
Hi! My name is Eleanor. I am a queer, white, neurodivergent Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Chicago, Illinois. I primarily work with people with cognitive impairment and their loved ones, whether due to strokes, traumatic brain injuries, dementia, neurodivergence, chronic health issues (i.e. multiple sclerosis, Long-COVID), or functional neurological symptoms, or some combination thereof. My work experiences range from hospice care to a helpline to skilled nursing to support services for older adults. I aim to work from an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens. My approach is collaborative and relational, utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also provide Cognitive Rehabilitation, which involves working with individuals and their care partners to implement compensatory tools, strategies, and resources to adapt to and potentially improve upon cognitive issues that impact daily life. I’m a sponge for information and stories, and often utilize podcasts, poetry, and other creative tools, as well as sharing resources, events, and the latest research with colleagues, clients, and let’s be real—my loved ones, too. Whether virtual, in-person, or over the phone, I work to create a warm and open atmosphere. For in-person sessions, I wear a KN95 mask and run an air purifier, and others are not required, however encouraged to mask as well.
