*NOW AVAILABLE FOR LIVE SESSIONS!* Hello there, my name is Elaine and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. My experience includes working with children, teens, adults, and families who are impacted by depression, anxiety, eating disorders, parenting issues, trauma, and grief and loss. I also have over 5 years experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, were I provided behavior therapy to children with developmental disabilities. My therapy style is very down-to-earth and nonjudgmental. I believe that you should feel comfortable sharing your experiences as you work towards your goals. So, how can I help? Maybe life has dealt you one challenge after another, and you are ready to break free and find your happiness. I know you are tired of the perpetual roadblocks and setbacks that prevent you from living life YOUR way. You are frustrated that no matter how hard you try, things just aren’t working. Together we can improve your emotional health, increase satisfaction with daily life, and get you closer to accomplishing those goals you’ve been putting off. You’ve undoubtedly made the courageous choice to work towards regaining control of your life and feeling better. I know you are tired, I know you are ready for change. Let’s work together and help you rediscover the life you were meant to live and feel better about yourself. Parents of children with special needs- Parents, there is help for you! I am very aware of the challenges that impact parents/families who have a child with special needs. Parenting is a difficult task in itself. Those difficulties are exponentially greater when a child has special needs. Maybe your child is receiving behavioral support, but for some reason you find yourself not able to work the same “magic” their therapists can. Do you feel burnt out? Perhaps your child has just been diagnosed and you are having some difficulty understanding or accepting what this all means for you and your family. Maybe you've been "in the game" for years and feel you have lost part of yourself in the world of specialists, doctors, IEPs, regional centers, OT, PT, ABA, etc... I’m here to tell you it’s OKAY. I can help you work through the unique challenges that comes with parenting child with special needs. *My availability has recently opened up to full time. Please reach out to me if interested in scheduling*

For the past twenty five years, I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist, a professor and consultant, serving in many professional arenas including director of a counseling center, clinical supervisor, and therapist for individuals, couples, and families. Working from a Systemic perspective, I treat problems such as relationship issues, family conflicts, depression, ADHD, parenting issues, anxiety/stress, depression, and substance abuse keeping in mind how these stressors impact relationships. My additional expertise is in assisting couples and families to improve their relationships, learn positive coping skills and find the flexibility needed to adapt to family life cycle changes including divorce and blended families. My therapy style is warm, comfortable and inviting providing a safe place to air problems and restore healthy mental and emotional functioning. My personal challenge is to connect with people in collaborative relationships which inspire and support my clients to access their strengths, create possibilities, and attain their goals. This commitment transcends my work as a therapist, educator, and consultant. I am also the founder of Parent University, a grant program created for school districts to help parents and their children resolve educational and relationship challenges. I have strong beliefs in the importance of constructive and productive parenting skills and believe that parents provide the leadership for all family members to grow and thrive. I have been a professor at several Universities and a core faulty member at Capella University since 2001, first serving as the Clinical Director of the Counselor Education Program for several years.

My most recent book At the End of the Day helps the reader connect with their existing strengths and abilities that have become lost in the midst of being problem drenched. By using a Solution focused approach in their problem solving efforts, my clients become able to “remember” their past successes and how to best use their existing abilities and skills to attain their personal goals. In addition to being a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also have over thirty years of sales, marketing, managerial and motivational experience. My career represents both a clinical and business background working in executive positions of major corporations, owning my own beverage distribution company, and growing a large clinical practice (Counseling Solutions).

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in San Fernando due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300
- With a clinician: $100
While many psychologists in San Fernando may not take health insurance, some in the state of California may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of California you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in San Fernando is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
