Getting to know Elena Shevtsova

!!!***Unable to accept Medicaid/Essential Plan or Medicare plans at this moment***!!! Before we meet, you’ll receive an email asking you to complete your consent forms and profile via either HelloAlma or Headway. Kindly complete these steps ahead of our session — this will help us make the most of our time together. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in both New York and Florida, with a specialization in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals on their journey towards mental wellness. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from City University of New York, Queens College, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to understand and address diverse mental health needs. With a profound understanding of the complex relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, I customize my therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each client. My commitment to assisting others through life’s challenges is grounded in my belief in the transformative power of therapy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I will be integrating evidence-based techniques from CBT with a person-centered focus, but my approach doesn't stop there - I also draw upon a wide range of therapeutic modalities. I guide individuals in examining their personal journeys, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other psychological concerns. I certainly appreciate the science behind mental health, but what matters just as much to me is bringing warmth and compassion into our sessions. I’m here to support you with kindness as navigate your unique challenges, all while ensuring you feel genuinely cared for along the way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When working with clients, my typical process begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship founded on trust, empathy, and understanding. In our initial sessions, we'll explore your personal journey, identifying areas where you'd like to see growth and development. Together, we'll establish clear goals and a personalized plan to achieve them.

    I highly recommend Miss Shevtsova. She has been a huge support and has helped me to work through several large life changes.

She’s very down to earth, has a great sense of humor, and is incredibly understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

    As a patient of hers, Ms. Olena takes the time to understand you and tries to help you as best as possible. She is attentive, great at communication, and cares about her patients. She helped me reduce my anxiety.
    Olena is a wonderful therapist, she is incredibly attentive and helpful. She has helped me a lot in healing my trauma, and she genuinely cares about her clients.
    Olena is an excellent therapist. She is always professional and gives amazing advice. Her sessions has helped me have a better quality of life, by overcome all my obstacles and becoming more focused on my goals and self care. I highly recommend her service.
    Olena is extremely patient and thoughtful in her responses. She is polite and easy to schedule with, as well. She has been a great system of support for me!
    My sessions are always very reflective and helpful in my daily life/routines. I have seen Miss. Shevtsova for 2 years and have learned so much through my sessions working with her
    Olena has been extremely helpful throughout the 2 years I had sessions with her. The books, exercises, and guidance has helped me cope with emotions I’ve had since childhood. I’ve now blossomed and am able to deal with adulthood and its challenges. I really appreciate the help.
    I am raving about Olena. I believe I was with her for about 6 months maybe a bit longer. I had therapy before her, but she was the one that made all the difference. She helped me to work quite a few issues to a point where I felt I no longer needed therapy. She directed me in the right direction and I am so much more happier and satisfied with my life now. She is professional and knowledgable and I can't recommend her enough.
    It was the first time I used the services of a psychotherapist and got to Olena. We quickly found a common language. I was easily able to open up and talk to her about everything, her support helped me and I quickly figured out my problem and established myself in my own merits, thanks to Olena! I advise everyone!
