Elena Wash, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elena!

I specialize in working with clients who struggle with chronic pain or illness and its emotional impact, including depression, anxiety, anger management, and trauma. I also work with millennials navigating quarter-life crisis, financial anxiety, loneliness, life transitions, and adulting challenges.

My focus

I typically work with young adults and women struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, chronic pain or illness, and navigating adult life in general.

My approach

My approach is cognitive behavioral, somatic, and strengths-based. These methods help empower you to take back control and manifest the positive change you'd like to see in your life.

My communication style

I provide a safe space to discuss your pain without judgment or misunderstanding. I want you to gain a better understanding of your physical and emotional states, learn to truly listen to your body, and feel empowered to change how you relate to yourself.

My goals for you

I encourage you to prioritize your discomfort by identifying the most distressing stressors in your life and creating goals to actively relieve them.

Our first session

You should expect to be heard and understood in a way that may not be familiar. I want you to get a sense of who I am as a therapist and feel comfortable discussing your current stressors in a meaningful way.
