ELENA DAVYDOVA, Ms

Parenting, in particular, can feel like an endless juggling act. With society’s and family’s high expectations, many parents feel they’re falling short. I work with parents to create realistic expectations, develop strategies to handle stress, and find balance in family life. For expecting parents, I offer support in navigating this profound life change, addressing the unique anxieties and challenges of the transition. For new mothers going through the isolating postpartum period, I provide guidance and emotional support to help you regain confidence and resilience during this challenging adjustment. If you're experiencing the weight of stress, trauma, or relationship difficulties, reaching out for help is a brave first step. Therapy provides a supportive environment where you can freely express yourself, explore what’s holding you back, and build practical tools to manage life’s demands. For Russian-speaking clients, I offer a culturally sensitive approach, grounded in an understanding of cultural nuances and the unique needs of Russian-speaking communities. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs, utilizing tools like CBT, Mindfulness, and Attachment-Based approaches. Through this work, clients often experience increased resilience, clarity, and a renewed sense of well-being.
