“In our work together, Elena has showed me the power of what ‘being seen’ feels like in my most vulnerable moments. It's amazing how therapeutic it can be to show yourself to somebody who is truly non-judgmental. I have been able to re-write my own narrative surrounding my idiosyncrasies and as a result feel more comfortable with my own unique life story.
Elena has an uncanny ability of keeping the attention of the session on my own therapeutic work while simultaneously bringing her own story into the equation at the perfect times. It's been incredibly helpful to have a practitioner who isn't scared of showing her own vulnerabilities.”
