Getting to know Elena Farias

Hello! My name is Elena Farias, LCSW. I provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts and feelings. Together, we work collaboratively to build and strengthen their relationships and heal areas of their lives that have caused pain and trauma. As a result of our work together, my clients become more aware of their inner strengths and build very rewarding lives. My training includes a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento, and a variety of therapeutic modalities. I am well versed in finding the right approach(es) for each individual, taking into account their background and experiences, and working toward meeting the goals my clients want to achieve. My passion as a therapist is to bring healing into people's lives, creating peace and clarity. I specialize in working with adults, assisting them through painful life experiences, including childhood trauma, traumatic losses, or simply a need to refocus and bring life and relationships to their highest potential. My clients frequently tell me they feel safe talking to me and appreciate my calm, centered approach. I value having my clients take the lead in bringing up whatever they choose to discuss and moving at the pace they create. My career as a therapist was inspired by my love for my grandfather. I sat by him as he faced a long and difficult end-of-life diagnosis. He helped me understand what true compassion is. We talked for hours, and he taught me the value of walking through pain and finding peace. When his journey ended, I made a commitment to use what I learned from him to help people in pain, knowing that through human connection and a commitment to healing, peace can be found. My clients are the experts in the therapy session-I follow them. They know what they want to work on, and I offer guidance, questions, and observations to support their journey.
