Welcome, I'm Elena!
​I'm glad you're here. I am happy to provide a safe space for anyone in need. Whether you're looking for ways to live a happier, healthier life, unsure of whether you're ready for change at all, or anywhere in between, I'm here for you each step of the way. I like to take a team approach to therapy, where we work together to decide on goals, strategies, and even "homework" if you're up for it. We'll look at what has and hasn't worked for you in the past and where you'd like to go from here. And if you're not sure if you're ready for that yet, we can simply hold space together. You deserve support and to feel seen and understood. I'd love to be a part of your healing journey.

Why Choose Growth Point?
Eating Disorders
I'm experienced working with eating disorders including Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, orthorexia, and ARFID. I focus on seeing you as a whole person, not just a disorder. We can work together to find a treatment plan that's specifically tailored to you and your needs. If requested, I will work with your doctor, dietician, psychiatrist, and the rest of your team to make sure you're getting the best care possible.
Body Image Issues
If you're struggling with your relationship with your body, we can work towards building a deeper understanding of these feelings and where they come from. I'm experienced in working with Body Dysmorphia and related conditions. If you're not sure if what you're struggling with is really Body Dysmorphia or an eating disorder, we can figure that out together. You deserve help and we can find your path to healing.
Neurodivergence
I embrace neurodivergence and acknowledge how important it is to provide safe spaces to explore your world judgement-free. As a neurodivergent person myself, I prioritize helping you find ways to work with your brain instead of trying to change it. It can be very challenging to operate in a world that feels like it wasn't made for you, and we can find ways to make that a little easier without seeing you as the problem.
Borderline Personality Disorder
I'm experienced and passionate about working with individuals struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder. This can look like feeling really overwhelming emotions, feeling highly anxious in relationships, having all-or-nothing thinking, and struggling with interpersonal issues. We can work on developing skills to help you navigate these feelings and communicate more effectively with others, reducing your distress and building healthier relationships.
Safe, Nonjudgmental Space
I believe this is one of the most important elements of therapy. Healing starts when you feel safe enough to start exploring the vulnerable thoughts, feelings, and memories that are often hidden from others, sometimes even from yourself. We will build a space where you feel truly comfortable and understood.
Services
Free 15 minute consult calls are available by request. I offer both in-person and telehealth services. I currently am not in network with any insurance plans and offer superbills for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan allows.
Individual Session
Individual sessions are an hour long and start at $215. If needed, this includes my collaborating with other members of your team (psychiatrist, nutritionist, doctors, previous therapists, etc.) to ensure you receive the best care possible.
Couples Session
I offer couples therapy at $235 an hour. These sessions are for each partner to be present for the duration of the session.
Family Session
Family therapy sessions are $235 an hour. These sessions are sometimes requested or recommended in addition to individual therapy to help strengthen your support system.
