“Elena was fantastic. She really helped my husband and I look at our issues in a more holistic (but scientific) positive and loving light. In just a few weeks we were laughing more, engaging more open and honestly, and seeing things much more positively.

 She always had a wise word, or a funny story that related to what we were dealing with and we didn't feel like patients, we felt like old friends. Elena is a Gem!!”

“Elena is a great resource to learn from. She has been a true asset to our life. Her experience in relationships and counseling has been deemed a successful direction in my newfound relationship. She has managed to give us a new perspective on life and marriage and it has been great working with her.”  Jessica S.

“As a young couple, we were unsure about our future and if we would be able to accomplish a healthy platform for our relationship to stand on. We began seeking out therapists and found Elena. She has been helping us tremendously. She taught us about love and respect in the right way, how to give each other our best versions of ourselves, how to regulate how we talk to each other, and more. She gives us homework that helps us continue to work on ourselves outside of therapy that really helps us. I can confidently say for the first time in our four years of dating I feel secure about our future and so much of that security came from Elena.” Jada W.

“Elena has been incredibly helpful in teaching my husband and I how to communicate with each other. We are currently five sessions in and have seen improvement since the first meeting. 

As with anything though, it is up to us as a couple to put the lessons and information given to is into practice and make it a part of our routine. Having her as an educated third party in the relationship has taught us how to talk through things respectfully and not just in the heat of the moment. 

I’m glad that we decided to reach out to her because it’s been very healthy for us to look at our relationship through a different lens. Also, a side note, there can be some stigma associated with seeking out marriage counseling. There should not be. When I mentioned to my friends and coworkers that my husband and I were seeking counseling, the responses varied from, “Uh oh, is everything okay?” to, “Oof, that sounds like a lot of work.” I tell them that yes, it’s a time commitment, but I also tell them that I think anyone who is planning to marry or may already be married, will benefit from learning how to successfully navigate a long term relationship. The tools we’ve picked up along the way are helping us in all other realms of our life as well. With Elena it’s more than relationship counseling, it’s learning how to improve all aspects of your life, beginning with you.”

“We were at a very difficult place to before coming to the Elena. We could not communicate with each other without starting to argue, often reaching a stand still. The very ways we tried to communicate we’re making communication impossible. Committing to seeing a Couples coach was the best first step. And just seeing Elena weekly kept us both focussed on continually growing a better relationship. The tools Elena gave us, (our morning greeting, hugs throughout the day and working towards cuddling time) all helped us come together through little steps. The book Elena had us read “Men are from Mars Women are from Venus” was eye opening for me. I was always trying to solve each problem My GF was telling me about. When all she really needed was for me to hear her out. Our communication and commitment to improving our communication has been incredible and seeing Elena for these few months has improved and actually saved the joy in our relationship.

“When we met Elena my wife and I were trying to figure out what, I suppose, many couples who’ve been married for 20+ years are trying to figure out: What happened to the flame? Why aren’t we communicating like we used to? How can we get that back? Am I going to keep doing this for another 20 years? 

Elena helped us in three major ways: #1) She asked us to stop and think about our relationship and make it important. As two “type-A” personalities we always had time for careers, kids, and friends, but didn’t apply that same energy and thought to our relationship. But that was just the start. 

#2) Elena listened to our positions and then asked us insightful questions and pushed us for answers, even when it got uncomfortable. We had to answer those questions in front of each other and nobody was able to leave the room. I can’t tell you how many times I answered questions expecting a response from Elena or my wife, and got a different or sometimes opposite response than I expected. Those moments were GOLD and really led me down a path of my own personal awareness that, at age 53, 

I thought I had down pat, which leads me to #3 – which was more about me. I’ll admit I had some pretty firm ideas about who I was and “who’s fault it was.” 

I can truly say that I re-evaluated some of those ideas and saw my contribution to the problem due to several conversations I had with Elena outside the couple’s conversations. Those conversations led to real changes that have impacted both my personal and professional life. 

I’m kind of a “typical guy” in that I don’t talk about myself or my feelings much, if ever. Like most guys, I talked to my wife about that stuff, but what do you do when your wife is part of the problem? Elena transcended the role of counselor and became a friend, albeit a friend who knew what I was really thinking. 

I think that’s rare.”

“Elena is such a wonderful person to work with! 

I remember reaching out to her, desperate for clarity in my relationship and where we stood as a couple. I don’t think I believed in us as much as she believed in us and I really needed that. She heard me, saw me, and gave me the truths that I needed and had ran away from for a long time. I’ve learned so much about myself, my relationship, and even my career - she was right about all of it! Thank you for everything, we will forever be grateful.” Andrea V.

“We just had our first consultation for pre-marital counseling and it was more than we expected. Elena is very easy to talk to and a GREAT listener and we're anxious to learn more. Even though it was our first consultation and not an actual session, I somehow feel something was accomplished, and contacting her is already putting us on the right track. We're looking forward to our first session. Thanks, Elena!” Chancery R.:

“Our experience with Elena was wonderful and extremely helpful to our relationship. She made us feel comfortable to open up and share our feelings and concerns. She’s trusting and makes the sessions fun. It helped our relationship tremendously. 

We have learned different techniques of communicating when things start to get heated. We were given weekly homework to do that brought us closer to each other. We looked forward to our weekly sessions. I highly recommend Elena for couples counseling. She is a master in her field!”
