MEET ELENA WHITE
“I want to understand clients in their own contexts and cultures, and I believe that our healing is our right.”
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#99435) with a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from CIIS (California Institute of Integral Studies). I have practiced as a therapist for over 7 years in the Bay Area, and have had the pleasure of working with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents who have experienced severe trauma, attachment disorders, and adverse childhood experiences.
I feel passionate about working with both adolescents and adults who feel isolated or different, or that they are either too much or not enough for the world around them. Learning self-confidence, self-acceptance, and freedom from judgement can be daunting, and I am committed to helping clients reach their goals. I want to understand clients in their own contexts and cultures, and I believe that our healing is our right.
I have a holistic view of mental health, and am here to support clients in a way that feels genuine and appropriate for each individual. I also utilize a supportive, psychodynamic approach, and I believe that our earliest relationships have a significant influence on how we view our world and our places in it. If you have any questions about myself or my approach, please do not hesitate to contact me.
