Elena Martin, LPC — Therapist in Alaska

Hi there, I'm Elena!

Helping people resolve their traumas, addictions, relational or personal issues is incredibly rewarding to me. I take into consideration cultural, economic, and religious aspects that play a critical role in shaping one's self-identity. I work with teens and adults who are ready to heal and grow.

My focus

I work with teens and adults, specializing in depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD, and relational issues. I also provide counseling for couples and am a strong supporter of clients who have experienced domestic violence or are staying in abusive relationships.

My approach

I believe that every person is unique. My counseling approach is eclectic, providing you with treatment that meets your specific needs. I utilize CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Client-Centered, and Psychoanalytical approaches, depending on what will help you most.

My communication style

I value warmth, respect, genuineness, and a safe atmosphere where you can share your story and feel understood. I am non-judgmental and an excellent listener. Your story is unique, and it matters to me.

My journey to mental healthcare

Remembering the USSR, no therapy was available, but so many people struggled with mental health issues. My journey to become a therapist began working with teens with behavioral issues. Helping others resolve their traumas, addictions, and personal issues is incredibly rewarding to me.

My goals for you

I believe that goal setting is very important in therapy and helps with commitment and progress. My approach is based on collaboration and understanding your needs, as well as building a trusting relationship between us. Together, we process your challenges, set clear goals, and gain new insights.

Our first session

Our first session is about building connections and exploring your current situation. We address the nature of your problems and discuss the areas in which you would like to improve. I am non-judgmental and an excellent listener. Your story is unique, and it matters to me.
