“Helene does an excellent job at making me feel heard without letting me ramble the whole session. She deftly directs the conversation back to introspective questions, strategy suggestions, and real-time practice. Above all, she is successful at making me feel like our sessions are a safe place, even in occasional discomfort as we tackle subjects I'd sooner avoid. But discomfort is necessary for growth, and Helene is dedicated to giving me the tools I need to achieve my goals.”

“Helene has such a warm, welcoming presence and a relatable way of communicating that immediately puts me at ease. I always feel heard and never judged. When she left her previous employer to start her own practice, I didn’t hesitate to follow her. I highly recommend working with Helene. She’s truly wonderful!”

Getting to know Helene Zupanc
Sawubona! This is a Zulu greeting, literally meaning “I see you.” Sawubona carries the importance of recognizing the worth and dignity of each person. It says, “I see the whole of you—your experiences, your needs, your passions, your pain, your strengths and weaknesses, and your future. You are valuable to me.” This is how I feel about each and every client.
I would be honored to walk beside you on your journey to better mental health whether you are suffering from intrusive thoughts, ADHD, low self-esteem, motivation, anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply want to improve your life! I have 20 years’ experience in the counseling field. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, OCD, anxiety, trauma, and EMDR.
I believe our thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves create our reality. You can absolutely change your life by getting off autopilot, steering your thoughts in a different direction and creating new habits. I utilize a strength-based approach to help you navigate the process of change, offering you tools, direction, and a new perspective. We can do this together!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and EMDR to help you process past experiences, build practical skills, and make meaningful changes that carry over into your daily life. Sessions are collaborative—we’ll identify challenges, set achievable goals, and celebrate wins, big and small.
My style blends warmth, humor, and practical guidance. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking—it’s about creating tools that help you thrive, at a pace that feels safe, manageable, and maybe even a little fun.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process begins with listening and understanding your story—what brings you to therapy, your challenges, your strengths and what you hope to change. In our first sessions, we focus on any assessments needed and then building a collaborative plan tailored to your needs and goals. Together, we will identify both the struggles you’re facing and the strengths you already have to support your growth.
