Meet Dr. Erlange Elisme
Dr. Erlange Elisme is the Founder and CEO of Elisme Consulting Services LLC, a trauma-informed care leadership and consulting firm dedicated to helping organizations, families, and communities move from overwhelm to resilience.
With over 30 years of experience in education and social work, Dr. Elisme brings both clinical expertise and cultural humility to every space she serves.

She also completed Harvard Medical School's Global Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery Program.
Dr. Elisme is a certified life coach who trains clinicians and organizational leaders. She does not provide therapy. Instead, her work focuses on building capacity and creating systemic change.
Known for her compassionate and engaging approach, Dr. Elisme blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and culturally responsive care into training and programs that are both evidence-based and deeply human. She empowers leaders, educators, and parents to build environments of safety, connection, and resilience where every story is honored and every person has the opportunity to heal and thrive.
Our Story
Founded by Dr. Erlange Elisme, our trauma-informed care consultant practice emerged from a powerful vision: organizations that respond to stress and adversity with compassion, cultural awareness, and resilience.
Drawing from extensive experience in social work, leadership development, and cultural responsiveness, Dr. Elisme developed frameworks that help organizations establish the deep roots necessary for sustainable growth and well-being. These approaches move beyond traditional models to create environments where both individuals and communities can thrive.
Through this work, we bridge the gap between understanding trauma's impact and implementing meaningful, lasting change that honors each person's unique journey toward healing.
Our Support
- Comprehensive support for leaders, educators, caregivers, and communities seeking tools to foster healing, resilience, and sustainable change
- Evidence-based frameworks including our signature E.L.I.S.M.E. Resilience Model, DEPTH Approach, and ICEBERG Method that create trauma-responsive environments rooted in compassion and emotional safety
- Specialized expertise in empowering immigrant, Black, and historically underserved communities through culturally responsive practices

Our Mission
We support organizations in building resilience-focused systems that recognize and respond to the effects of stress and adversity. Through evidence-based frameworks and culturally responsive practices, we create emotionally safe environments where people can thrive, particularly in communities that have been historically underserved.
Our approach transforms organizational cultures by integrating trauma-informed principles into daily practices. When organizations understand trauma's impact, they become powerful catalysts for healing and sustainable change.
