As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, Elena brings a wealth of experience to her private practice. Her journey in mental health work began with internships in 2018 at a middle school and high school, followed by an adolescent psychiatric hospital in 2019, where she gained early exposure to diverse client needs. From 2019 to 2024, Elena honed her skills in community mental health clinics, treating a broad spectrum of diagnoses and further deepening her clinical expertise. In 2023, Elena established her private practice. In July 2024, she left community mental health to dedicate herself fully to her private practice, providing personalized care. She specializes in helping clients navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, and trauma. With a compassionate and comprehensive approach, Elena is committed to supporting individuals on their path to healing and well-being.

Taking the first step toward seeking support can feel daunting, but it's also a powerful act of self-care. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. My experiences as a psychotherapist have shown me the incredible resilience of the human spirit. I've had the privilege of walking alongside many individuals as they navigated complex challenges. I believe that effective therapy is a collaborative journey. While I bring my expertise and guidance, the most profound changes often happen when we work together, and you're ready to actively engage in the process. I'm here to support, challenge, and empower you, and I truly value clients who are motivated and curious to understand themselves more deeply and apply new insights to their lives. If you're ready to embark on this healing path and are open to putting in the work, I invite you to connect with me. Let's build the life you envision, together.
