Jamie Elzea

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with Masters degrees in Social Work and Public Health and am Endorsed as an Infant Mental Health Mentor.

I bring over a decade of experience as a doula, parent educator, perinatal and early childhood mental health therapist, parent/baby preschool teacher.

Most recently, I served for 3.5 years as the Executive Director of the Washington Association for Infant Mental Health supporting professionals around the state in early childhood mental health practices.

Today, I am a private practice therapist, trainer and organizational consultant at Nurtureways (www.nurtureways.org) focused on supporting the well-being of families, professionals and organizations that serve communities. 

I bring my experience as a mother of 3 children and a passionate professional anchored in evidence-based approaches and compassionate care to support the development of strong parent/child relationships and enhanced family well-being.

Some areas of specialty include supporting parents of children with chronic health conditions and parents of children with special developmental needs. I hope to see you in a group soon!
