ELENA BALMASEDA, MA

Whatever brings you to therapy, whether it be relational struggles, communication issues, grief, trauma, anxiety, the everyday stress that life brings, or anything in between, know that there is a place for you here! We all have our burdens, but you do not have to hold them on your own. It would be my honor to work with you as you walk through life’s challenges and learn how to manage and adapt to the burdens that weigh you down.

My heart is to help you take those steps forward, towards growth and healing. I desire to create a safe space where vulnerability can be embraced, honesty can be expressed, and freedom can be experienced. I am passionate about equipping children, individuals, families, and couples with the skills needed to not only face the struggles, but to flourish!

I have completed my master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Wheaton College, where I was trained in systemic theory to bring awareness to the multidimensional effects of relationships. Considering how relationships affect people, situations, and life as a whole is a crucial element to my practice, and I hope it brings another level of perspective to you as well! 

I hope to begin this journey with you soon!
