Getting to know Elena Kolomytseva

As a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with adult individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns that no longer work. This may show up as ongoing relationship conflict, anxiety that doesn’t fully go away, or life transitions that feel heavier than expected. In therapy, I help you slow things down, understand what is shaping these patterns, and move toward more clarity and confidence in how you relate to yourself and others. I specialize in premarital and marital counseling, dating patterns and identity exploration, multicultural couples and immigrant experiences, and creative professionals in the arts and entertainment. My work is grounded in a systemic, trauma-informed approach focused on meaningful and lasting change. My background in theater and event directing gives me a deep understanding of high-pressure, performance-based environments and the emotional demands that come with them. I offer therapy in English and Russian and bring a warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive approach to the work.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect a warm, collaborative space where they feel heard, understood, and not rushed. I tailor therapy to each person or couple, focusing on the patterns shaping your relationships, emotional responses, and sense of self. Together, we look at what feels stuck and what needs to shift, combining reflection with practical tools you can use in everyday life. My approach is structured but flexible, always guided by your needs and goals. The aim is to move from feeling overwhelmed or stuck to feeling more steady, connected, and clear in your relationships and decisions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin by getting a clear sense of your story, what’s bringing you in, and what you want to change. The first sessions focus on understanding your patterns, relationships, and goals at a comfortable pace. From there, we collaborate on a direction for therapy that fits your needs. Sessions are conversational and grounded, with a balance of reflection, insight, and practical work. Therapy is a partnership. My role is to guide the process while making space for you to actively engage in understanding yourself and creating change that feels real and sustainable.
