As a licensed mental health therapist with many years of experience in inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, I see every person as unique and, so is their story.
I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families to experience healing and connection. In my opinion, everyone throughout a lifetime will experience some form of trauma, such as personal or relational conflicts, abuse, childhood trauma, crisis, neglect, etc. My essential belief is that when we have support and help, each individual has the power to create positive changes toward personal transformation to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
I was born and grew up in Ukraine and I take into consideration cultural, economic, and religious aspects that play a critical role in shaping self-identity. I have lived in Alaska since 1995. I speak English and Russian.
I am enthusiastic and caring about working with people. I value warmth, genuineness, non-judgmental, and a safe atmosphere where you can share your story and feel understood. By working together, we will process your current challenges, set clear goals, gain new insights into the nature of your problems while attaining personal growth along your journey.
My qualifications include Licensed Professional Counselor (State of Alaska), Chemical Dependency Counselor II (State of Alaska), and a Master Degree in Psychology (I graduated from the University of Phoenix in 2011).
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elena Martin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Elena has been so kind to me and listens to my concerns with no judgment.

I love working with Elena, she has helped me through so many obstacles in my life. I was very hesitant to start therapy in February and I landed on a gold mine of a therapist with her. She walked me through what to expect at each session, was very responsive to me asking for homework outside of my sessions. She has helped me work on my PTSD, grief and loss of a parent, conflicts, building my confidence and finding my inner happiness again. When I need a reminder she doesn't hesitate. She talks me through other perspectives and my feelings and has me pausing to question myself before reacting. I have learned how to stand up for myself and my beliefs and desires, she praises me when I have reached a goal. I couldn't ask for a better therapist and I look forward to every session.
