Elaine Demasi, LMSW

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) providing counseling in-person and virtual (telehealth, phone). I joined Inspire Counseling and Wellness as a clinician in 2023 after spending the majority of my career at Community Mental Health of Central Michigan. I have also spent time as a school social worker, assessing students with emotional impairments, Autism, and ADD/ADHD. I am Trauma Certified and have experience working with individuals experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, and grief. I am currently accepting clients in middle school and high school through adulthood. My experience working with at-risk youth and young adults makes my approach to therapy different from most. I see my client’s immediate needs and help them determine long-term goals to help maintain mental and emotional health. I tell clients that I don’t do anything for my clients but teach them how to do it for themselves. I believe in a positive approach and employ mindfulness strategies, both personally and with my clients, to foster positive outcomes. I earned my master’s in social work from the University of Michigan. In addition to working with clients, I love animals and enjoy spending time outside and gardening.
