About Elaine
I have 30 years combined clinical, military, political and teaching experience. I've worked in a variety of settings, including private practice, college, community agencies, and hospitals. At the age of 42, I joined the US Army as a Social Work Officer, handling domestic violence cases and teaching anger management to Soldiers. I deployed to Afghanistan, where I provided outpatient services and served as XO for Medical Command. I've served on several advisory boards, taught psychology at the college level, and held several legislative positions in Washington, DC. In addition to private practice, I host a YouTube channel, Ask The Therapist, makes podcast appearances, and writes about psychology in pop culture and politics.
CPT Belson's devotion to duty, attention to detail, and interspersonal skills far surpass 99% of the people I have ever worked with. She accomplished in two months what normally takes the average individual a year.
Using her social work skills, CPT Belson developed cooperative relationships to get results. She approached each task with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. Whenever she ran into an obstacle... CPT Belson, through her creativity and determination, always found the right way around the problem. Her work was always proficient and thorough and will positively impact counter-insurgency operations long after she is done wearing the uniform
