DR. ELBA CRESPO
Connecticut's Best Clinical Counseling
My name is Dr. Elba Crespo. I was born in Puerto Rico but my family moved to Bridgeport when
I was very young at a time when there was mass relocation of Puerto Ricans to the United States seeking financial and social improvements. I am proud to say I was raised in Bridgeport.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Yale University in 1978. I continued my studies at the Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, Adelphi University and received my Masters in 1980 and my PhD in 1989.
In 1981, my training led me to Boston, MA where I completed my clinical internship at Massachusetts General Hospital. After my internship I remained in Boston and had many opportunities to expand my training to address socio-economic and cultural issues affecting our communities. As a member of the Women’s Health Unit within the Massachusetts Department
of Public Health I worked closely with statewide coalitions, government agencies and advocates to develop policies related to issues of violence against women. I was able to move to more direct clinical work and become the director of a mental health service within the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston managing domestic, substance abuse and parenting programs Twenty years ago I was pleased to return home. I first worked in community agencies with a special focus on domestic violence and alternatives to incarceration for women. I have moved to more independent practice. I have had many doors open for me and am committed to give back to the community lessons learned and skills gained.
