Dr. Elena Michaels

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed psychotherapist in with over 31 years of experience and currently have my private practice in Santa Clarita, California.
A few areas I work with are stress and anxiety, relationship issues, enhancing clear communication, motivation, self esteem and confidence, coping with life changes and more. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you…even if you feel you have “lost your way” temporarily. It takes courage to reach out, be vulnerable and find someone that may be able to help you create a more fulfilling and happy life and it takes courage and support to take the first steps towards making changes.
I hope to help you become more of a master of your life, instead of a victim of circumstances. I am here to support & empower you, as well as guide you in that journey.
I have a background in the entertainment business, am non-religious but have a spiritual approach. I am also a meditation teacher and life coach. I tend to be solution-focused, helping clients move forward to greater self empowerment.
My sessions are phone sessions (no video).

I look forward to working with you!
Warm regards,
Dr. Elena 🙂

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care for most individuals.

One of the principal benefits is flexibility. People can connect with therapists in the format that best fits their needs and routines – through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to schedule care without disrupting daily life.

All online therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they are seeking a different match. For many, this combination of convenience and professional support makes online therapy a practical option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
