Already Home is a love letter to those who have felt lost; without a place to land, both emotionally and physically. Already Home is an aspiration to carry with us all we need to find comfort, safety, and joy.
Meet Elena
Hey there! My name is Elena and I use she/her pronouns. I am a queer, white, neurodivergent therapist. My practice is one that centers and celebrates authenticity, courageous exploration, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. In practice, this can look like taking the time to build trust and connection, pulling from a wide variety of modalities, and curiosity and silliness when needed (which I believe is often!) I have seen many therapists feel the need to rush into “fixing”; in my work, there is no rush and there is no “fixing”. Together, we will sit in the messy experience of being human; exploring and learning from our pain while uplifting and celebrating the joys. We will co-create your therapy experience, making it into whatever you need it to be in order to feel as safe as possible.
