Develop your leadership skills with
The Enneagram Doctor

Therapists, coaches and service oriented teams:

“I took Liora's Enneagram workshop for therapists and found it very informative. It was incredibly helpful to learn what to listen for while working with clients and what each type/number needed to hear to help clients move forward. I would highly recommend Liora for Enneagram coaching/workshops for all therapists!” Ashley Sakker, MS LPC

Hi! I’m Liora Mascal Elias, PhD —The Enneagram Dr. I am a certified Enneagram practitioner (in three programs because the Enneagram 6 in me really loves to cover my bases), International Enneagram lecturer, continuing education provider, featured podcast guest, and Communication Studies PhD passionate about facilitating breakthroughs and architecting personal, professional, and relational growth through the fascinating and liberating psychological, social-emotional, and neuro-biological framework of the Enneagram.

I’ve created Enneagram Awakening: A Leadership Development & Team Building program for group practices & service oriented teams.

Here’s WHY your group practice or team should invest in Enneagram Awakening:

1) The Enneagram provides a clear framework for giving and receiving critical feedback. This dynamic is key to the supervisor/supervisee relationship.

2) The Enneagram provides a shared language for group practices to communicate, allowing for deeper relationships with colleagues, yourself and your clients.

3) Clients feels as though they are understood more deeply, sooner.

4) FUN, is one of the many other benefits, as are CEU’s!

This program is for you if you are brand new to the Enneagram or a seasoned enthusiast.

 Here’s what it’s like to work together:
✅ Identify your Enneagram type & your team’s types
✅ Learn how different communication styles show up at work
✅ Explore instinctual biases—what drives priorities & energy
✅ Spot the hidden gaps in team communication
✅ Build strategies for smoother collaboration & stronger culture
✅ Wrap up with 1:1 Executive Coaching calls for type-specific leadership growth

Engaging. Practical. Fun. Results you’ll actually feel in your team dynamic. Because culture is built in the small moments.

The Enneagram gives you a clear lens to:

  • Understand yourself and your clients’ core motivations, not just surface behaviors.

  • Tailor communication with greater accuracy and empathy.

  • Hold space for your team and client base in a way that fosters safety, trust, and growth.

  • Become aware of — and work skillfully with — your own patterns as a leader and practitioner.

You can work with me in three ways:

1:1 Professional Mentoring
Bring me a client case, your leadership goals, or your own self-awareness work — and we’ll explore how the Enneagram can unlock new insight and next steps.

What People Are Saying

  • “Dr. Liora is a fantastic Enneagram expert. I recently had a reading with them and they were able to share what is a complex modality in a way that I fully understood. They took their time to understand all the detail they needed to be able to share my Enneagram thoughtfully. Would highly recommend.”

    –– Laura Lillie Goodridge, Executive Coach

  • “It was so fulfilling as a trainer and coach to have Liora Elias in my Choice Program. She was attentive and fully engaged in the group coaching calls, and she showed up in each of the group coaching calls always having done the ‘homework’ of watching the video trainings, and integrated what she had watched. She was definitely an inspiration and stood out as a leader in the group. It was so satisfying to witness how she applied what she was learning in her own growth and to know she’ll be able to use this in her own profession.”

    –– Andrea Isaacs, Founder of the Emotional Mastery Institute

  • “I took Liora's Enneagram workshop for therapists and found it very informative. It was incredibly helpful to learn what to listen for while working with clients and what each type/number needed to hear to help clients move forward. I would highly recommend Liora for Enneagram coaching/workshops for all therapists!”

    –– Ashley Sakker, MS, Licensed Professional Counselor

  • “I love having a professional typing session! Some of the nuances of the 5 didn’t really fit me & I’m excited to learn more about my newly discovered, current deconditioned type.”

    Sam Mark, cast member of Netflix’s The Ultimatum: Queer Love

  • “Liora’s talent as a wise teacher is rooted in her devotion to lifelong learning. She engages in every conversation with a calm curiosity and rigorous intellect - and her passion for the Enneagram is infectious. She has an uncanny gift for asking questions that can point the listener in the direction they most need. She models empathy and kindness in her coaching that helps me approach my own self-study with more compassion and patience. I always leave our conversations feeling grateful for her generous spirit and deep expertise.”

    -Reverend Leslie Ball, artist, educator, activist

  • “I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Liora Elias! She recently led a team-building session for our GTCUW Advancement Strategies team using the Enneagram, and it was incredible. Liora has this amazing way of making deep insights feel approachable and even fun. She helped us better understand ourselves, our team dynamics, and how we can work together with more awareness and compassion. The session was thoughtful, engaging, and honestly just what we needed. She brought a perfect mix of fun, expertise, and empathy - and created a space where everyone felt seen and safe to share. If you’re looking to bring more connection, clarity and growth to your team, Liora is the one to call!

It shows you the box you’re already in and how to get out of it.”
