Hello!

My name is Boonmee Pakviset McElroy, and I am a Licensed Clinical social worker (LICSW). I have been practicing as a mental health therapist since 2016. I am also a Trauma-Focused cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT) and well as certified cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT). I have always been drawn to help people to live their best version of themselves. I am passionate about counseling and connect very well with adolescents, young adults and adults from all backgrounds. I believe that a person can be the most effective and perform their best when their physical health, emotional health, and mental health are in balance. I have more than 10 years of experience in mental health field and i have worked with middle school age, high schools, and university students and families. I am eager to know you as a person and what make you unique. I can’t wait to get to know you and work with you!

Additionally, I am also Professional International Life Coach. I have practiced as a Life Coach in Thailand, Japan, Singapore, and United States and have more than five years of coaching experience. I believe in a positive and growth mindset. I am a product of both. I am here to support you! I use a coaching method guided by the "GOLEARN" model to "discover blind spots" which cause mental blockages that prevent clients from achieving their personal and professional goals, as well as their true happiness. In the process of coaching, I empower, inspire, and help my clients to reach their desire goals. I am committed to help my clients succeed.

I have experienced hardships in life since a very young age. I lost both of my parents between the age of 5-10 years old and was forced to live on my won at the age of 12. I know what it feels like to be truly on my own, trying to make it in life. These experiences have made me a passionate and compassionate life coach." I am here to support you.
