Elaine Skoulas

Approach Description: I use a heart-centered and compassionate approach. I believe trust and safety are ultimately the most important experiences in the therapy space to be able to process original wounding and trauma. Healing happens when met with true attunement. I use psychodynamic therapy to help look at relationships patterns including family of origin for a deeper understanding of who you are and how you relate to others. I am EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) trained and use this for traumatic experiences including childhood/developmental trauma to alleviate distressful trauma responses, anxiety, and negative core beliefs. I also have a certification in Pain Reprocessing Therapy which uses a mindbody approach to change the relationship with chronic pain and anxiety. I work with substance use challenges using my years of experience working in various levels of treatment care.
