Getting to know Elana Dunn
Life can bring challenges that at times feel like just too much to sort through or overcome on your own. It brings great fulfillment to me to be a part of helping you move beyond pain-beyond overwhelming stress-beyond not knowing-beyond feeling confused.
Walking WITH you through the tunnel, all the way to the other side, I learned long ago that helping people ?change' is what I was called to do. I am humbled to be able to help you.
Over the past 22 years, my devotion has never wavered. Helping you gain peace, direction, feeling whole, safe, and secure, and embracing a life anew fuels my professional intentions. My sweet late grandmother told me, ?leave the world better than how you found it,? and with each person I serve, that is my quest.
I hold a Master of Education in Counseling and Development from Montana State University, Northern, and a Bachelor's degree from Auburn University, Montgomery. During our live-video virtual sessions, I tend to share my own experiences that relate to what you are dealing with (it's called ?therapeutic personal disclosure'). This seems to really help clients know that I can relate from the inside, and I'm not just spouting out stuff from a textbook. Having lived a full life thus far, I have lots of experience and stories that you may be able to relate to.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients over the years have described me as “you keep it real,” warm, honest, trustworthy, genuine, transparent, humorous, a teacher, and able to quickly move them forward. | am a wife, mother, daughter, and sister. I'm also an Introvert, and if you don't know what this really means, let me warn you now that this does not mean I am shy...I'm quite the opposite of shy. | enjoy alone time, as it is peaceful, introspective, and allows me to rejuvenate to be the best I can be when working with you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As | work with individuals, each person is wonderfully unique and requires your own unique approach. Working from the frameworks of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Solution Focused Therapy, | create a therapeutic plan that is right for YOU.
