Connecting with others is at the heart of human nature. It's what make our lives livable and our bodies healthy. But human relationships are -and especially in contemporary times- far from simple. Communication therefore plays a main role in easing relationships and making them fulfilling experiences. And because there is never a one-size-fits-all approach, I integrate diverse therapeutic approaches into my work with clients. But the first goal in my practice is to create a safe space where the upbuilding of trust can be achieved. It's only then that a journey to restore our full capacities to enjoy life will ensue.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
About Elena
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, university professor and researcher based in Buenos Aires. I'm fully bilingual and bicultural due to life&studies in the UK, USA and New Zealand. I've been catering for the Expat Community here in Buenos Aires for more than a decade now and also attend to clients in Europe and the USA via online platforms.
My research lines cover mainly Relational Psychotherapy, Sexualities, Attachment styles and Gender Studies. I have a background in arts and the humanities since I'm a graduate opera director and English/Spanish translator and Interpreter. I see the therapeutic process as a fascinating and creative journey into one's true self and potentials
