As a seasoned and strategic leader in social services administration, Dr. Elisa possesses the career-long achievements that mark her as an expert in program development, launch, and continued management. As a committed administrator, she also brings the compassion and understanding inherent in her background as a mental health clinician who still regularly counsels individuals and groups in achieving mental health and wellness. It is this combination of clinical, hands-on, and program leadership that sets Dr. Elisa apart from her peers as a vital force in leading effective programs and public policy with outcomes on individuals, local communities, and reform at a national scale.
Dr. Elisa served as the national spokeswoman for Peacekeepers–an anti-violence organization supported in part by music mogul Russell Simmons–who describes her as an “Angel and work phenomenal”
Dr. Elisa’s focus and attention to detail cultivated a robust team delivering productivity improvements; implemented policies and procedures and contributed to reducing critical incidents by 75%. Her unwavering efforts resulted in the redesign of a 30 million dollar Congregate level 2 Facility; and secured 3-year State operating license! Remarkable work! Dr. Elisa is a passionate and committed professional.
I’ve mentored and worked along side Dr. Elisa for much of her professional career. She consistently shows up ready to serve the most vulnerable in our society. She’s an innovative and creative thinker in the area of public private partnerships, mental, emotional and physical well-being and is an asset to the mental health profession. She is a credit to her profession.
