something needs to shiftLife feels overwhelming and you're ready for change
Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, healing from trauma, adjusting to parenthood, feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, or simply sensing that something needs to change - you don't have to figure it out alone.
Maybe you're struggling with anxiety or depression, caught in patterns that no longer serve you, or feeling disconnected from who you really are. Perhaps you're dealing with the aftermath of difficult relationships, cultural transitions, or carrying generational patterns that feel too heavy. You deserve support that truly understands where you're coming from.
FIND A different way forwardA safe space to heal, grow, and create positive change
I create a safe, collaborative space where you can explore what's happening and develop practical tools for lasting change. Whether through individual therapy, couples counseling, parenting support, or life coaching, I help you understand patterns, strengthen relationships, and build the life you want - one that feels more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.
Isn’t it time you received the support you need?
When life feels heavy and you're carrying more than your share, support can make all the difference. These are just some of the challenges I can help with:
-
Persistent sadness, worry, or feeling stuck can make daily life feel overwhelming. Together, we'll explore what's beneath these feelings and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded and hopeful.
-
The pressure to excel in every area can leave you exhausted and never feeling "good enough." We'll explore healthier ways to approach your goals and find sustainable rhythms.
-
Whether it's conflict with your partner, challenges with your children, or complicated family relationships, we'll work on communication patterns and boundary-setting skills.
-
If you find yourself always saying yes when you want to say no, or losing your voice in relationships, we'll explore what's behind this pattern and help you reclaim your authentic voice.
-
Complex trauma and narcissistic abuse can leave you questioning your reality and struggling to trust yourself. We'll work together to help you rediscover who you are, reclaim your power, and step back into your own choices and voice.
-
Past experiences can continue affecting your present life in unexpected ways. Using trauma-informed approaches, we'll work at your pace to process these experiences and build resilience.
-
The transition to parenthood brings joy alongside unexpected challenges and identity shifts. We'll navigate the emotional complexities of this life change together, from pregnancy through early parenthood.
My Services
ELENA DAVYDOVA, MSW, ASCW Meet your therapist
I'm here to offer a space where you don't have to hold it all together. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and collaborative - therapy with me is about creating lasting change through understanding, support, and practical tools that work for your real life.
As a bilingual therapist offering services in both English and Russian, I understand cultural transitions, generational patterns, and the challenges of navigating life between different worlds. My background includes specialized training in trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and infant mental health, plus certification as a DIR/Floortime specialist and life coach.
What sets my work apart is blending evidence-based methods with creative, nature-inspired approaches. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions - instead, I tailor our work based on what feels most helpful for your unique situation and goals.
Whether you're carrying overwhelm, navigating relationships, healing from trauma, or simply longing to feel more at ease, you don't have to do it alone.

You’ve been told to “take care of yourself,” but also to keep up, be grateful, and somehow bounce back. Maybe someone even said, “sleep when the baby sleeps.” But without support, that’s more fantasy than advice. This post explores why self-care isn’t selfish or extra — it’s essential for your mental health, your baby’s development, and your ability to show up with presence and love.
