Now Accepting NEW Clients! I think of myself as solution-oriented and I feel privileged to be able to support and witness clients grow and overcome challenges they face in their day-to-day lives. I work with individuals and families, and have a special interest in working with couples as they work through and navigate relationship challenges, transitional periods and working towards creating stronger bonds. My educational and professional background has afforded me the experience of supporting clients with various concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, grief & loss, and relationship issues–to name a few.

"someone who will get the real pain in me..." I am so glad you are looking for connection. I get it. I've been there. I'll go there. I'm ready to walk through painful life events w/ you while seeking truth, knowing peace and finding hope.

Adulting is hard. Being a kid is hard. Being human is hard. Having access to all of the world all of the time is hard. It’s overwhelming and everyone has an opinion. And sometimes it can just become too much. Every stage of life comes with what seems like insurmountable obstacles. This day and age with the seeming constant comparison to a perfect social media life can leave one feeling impossibly more than less than. Sometimes we just need a little help. A place to sit with our reality without the judgement or the press to have it all.

I understand that your perception is your reality. My name is Elina Kharmats, and I have more than a decade of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor working with individuals, couples, and families.

Some of these approaches include person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems therapy, and gestalt therapy, among others.

Sometimes something has gone awry in our life balance which can manifest into feelings of sadness, symptoms of anxiety, unmanageable stress, uncontrollable fear, and self-doubt.

I offer a safe and affirming space where together we will work through these challenges. I will provide you with tools that lead to self-discovery and creating a meaningful life.

I believe that our past experiences shape how we think, behave, and react to new experiences. However, some of our beliefs, fears, and habits hinder us in the present and negatively affect our behaviors. I view my role as helping clients develop alternative ways of thinking in order for clients to reach their desired goals.

Children and adults have many stressors and concerns in their lives that may be difficult to talk about or share with close friends and family. Many having the fear of being judged hesitate sharing their true fears and anxieties and small children may not even have the words to properly describe what they are feeling. I provide a safe environment where people can come and talk about (through talk therapy, activity therapy, or play therapy) their experiences in their day to day lives and how it effects them. I further assist parents to build on their parenting skills and open the lines of communication.
