About Elena

Originaire de Paris, je suis psychologue de formation en France et thérapeute conjugale et familiale diplômée et agréée aux États-Unis (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist – LMFT). J’exerce depuis plus de 15 ans auprès d’adultes et de couples, en français et en anglais.

Installée aux États-Unis depuis 2012, je connais personnellement les défis que peut représenter l’expatriation : différences culturelles, perte de repères, éloignement familial, questionnements identitaires ou difficultés relationnelles. Je suis particulièrement sensible à l’importance de pouvoir exprimer ses émotions et explorer son histoire dans sa langue maternelle.

Mon approche est principalement psychodynamique et centrée sur les liens d’attachement. Je propose un travail thérapeutique approfondi qui permet de mieux comprendre les expériences du passé, les schémas relationnels qui se répètent et la manière dont ils influencent notre vie actuelle.

En thérapie individuelle, j’accompagne notamment les personnes confrontées à l’anxiété, aux difficultés relationnelles, au manque de confiance en soi, aux troubles de l’image corporelle, aux transitions de vie et aux questionnements personnels.

En thérapie de couple, je m’appuie notamment sur la thérapie centrée sur les émotions (Emotionally Focused Therapy – EFT) pour aider les partenaires à mieux comprendre leurs dynamiques relationnelles, améliorer leur communication, retrouver une connexion émotionnelle et traverser les périodes de crise.

Je reçois en présentiel à Manhattan, dans le quartier de Flatiron à New York, et propose également des consultations en ligne dans les États où je suis autorisée à exercer.

English

Originally from Paris, France, I trained in clinical psychology before pursuing graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy in San Francisco. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 15 years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy and attachment theory. I believe that meaningful, lasting change often comes from developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, our emotional experiences, and the relational patterns that shape our lives.

In individual therapy, I help clients navigate anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, body image concerns, life transitions, and recurring emotional patterns.

In couples therapy, I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners better understand their negative interaction cycles, strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and navigate relationship challenges.

Having lived in both France and the United States, I also have a particular understanding of the emotional and relational complexities of expatriation and cross-cultural relationships.

I offer individual and couples therapy in English and French, in person in Manhattan’s Flatiron District and online in states where I am licensed.
