Elena Welles

Growth and healing happen when we create space for all parts of ourselves to be witnessed and held. In our work together, I’ll help you develop a compassionate relationship with your inner world while working with you to develop skills and understanding to navigate life’s complexities with greater ease and authenticity.

I am dedicated to creating a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space for clients across the spectrum of gender and sexuality. My practice is queer-, kink-, poly-, and sex work-friendly, rooted in an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach that prioritizes your lived experience.

I believe the client-therapist relationship is at the heart of the therapeutic process, and I strive to collaboratively co-create meaning and a greater understanding of yourself. I draw on psychodynamic, relational, narrative, and structural modalities to build a working relationship that is unique to each client and their needs.
