How I work

I'm Elena, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I've worked with couples and families for twelve years, in English and Spanish.

Most of my work draws on the Gottman Method, which gives couples practical tools for conflict and connection, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT), which looks at the feelings underneath the fights.

I don't take sides. My job is to protect the relationship, and to make the room safe enough for both of you to be honest.

How it starts

  1. Free 20-minute consult

    One or both of you, by phone. We'll talk about what's going on and whether I'm a good fit.

  2. A first session together

    Ninety minutes so we have room to hear both sides of the story.

  3. One individual session each

    A chance to say what's hard to say with your partner in the room.

  4. A plan we agree on

    Then weekly or every-other-week sessions, depending on what you need.

Out of network with insurance. I provide superbills for possible reimbursement, and Good Faith Estimates on request.

First session (90 minutes)
