HI! My name is Elena Gorrow. I enjoy working with older teens (along with parents if appropriate), adults and couples; adults experiencing day-to-day life with changing families, changing careers, and making life plans; and parents who are striving to do what is best for their children despite the challenges they face in their relationship with other key adults in the child's life. This depends on the client's needs. Some clients come into therapy only looking to focus on a single situation and other clients have multiple areas of their life that they want to work on. I offer video telehealth therapy.

You've built an impressive life. The career, the credentials, the relationships that look right on paper. And yet something persists underneath it all: a low-grade exhaustion that doesn't respond to rest, a sense that you're always performing but rarely arriving, or a quiet question you haven't had space to sit with. Many of my clients are high-achieving immigrant and first-generation professionals navigating the intersection of ambition, identity, and the weight of cultural inheritance. Others are accomplished adults who have done surface-level work and are ready to go deeper.

Hi! My name is Jill Jackson. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As a therapist, I try to hold a person’s experience and how that experience has been impacted by their context, be it related to culture, age, language, gender, sexuality, religion, and/or other factors. I also support people to think about how they make meaning out of the things they have experienced and then use that meaning to move through and create the life they are living or want to live. As partners in the therapeutic process, we will hopefully dive into understanding your story and making meaning of that story over time.

You may be someone living between cultures—carrying the values, expectations, and emotional weight of the culture you were born into while trying to build a life in a different environment. You might struggle with anxiety, low mood, or feeling stuck, despite doing everything “right.” Generational trauma, unspoken family roles, or inherited survival patterns may shape how you relate, cope, and make decisions. You may feel torn between who you are and who you’re expected to be, longing for clarity, relief, and a deeper sense of belonging within yourself.

You've built a successful life, and yet something feels off. Maybe it's a relationship under strain, a work situation that's harder than expected, or a quiet sense that you've been running on empty for longer than you'd like to admit. Or maybe sudden change has interrupted your life: a medical diagnosis, a loss, a job ending. You're not alone, and you don't have to figure it all out in your head. I work with driven, high-achieving adults navigating change, uncertainty, or emotional pain. If you're looking for a reflective, collaborative space to understand yourself more deeply and find a clearer path forward, I'd love to connect.

Are you the person everyone turns to for support, advice, or help? Do you find yourself taking care of others while neglecting your own needs? Perhaps you struggle with guilt when you try to set boundaries, feel responsible for other people's happiness or find yourself exhausted from constantly putting yourself last. Many of my clients are caregivers, adult children of emotionally immature parents, trauma survivors, couples struggling with communication, disconnection, affairs , or conflict, grief, anxiety or major life transitions. A common theme is years focusing on needs of others while neglecting their own.
