About

Cancer can feel overwhelming, bringing fears about lengthy treatments, physical suffering, and uncertainty about the future. Elena Parsons offers support that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of coping with a life-threatening illness, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s distinct needs.

With more than 35 years as a licensed counselor, Elena has extensive experience working with addictions, serious mental illness, couples and family therapy, chronic illness, life transitions, and grief and loss. Her particular emphasis is on chronic illnesses, especially cancer, a focus shaped by the prominence of cancer in her own family during her upbringing. She is also certified as an Interactive Guided Imagery ℠ Practitioner, using imagery-based techniques to help clients access inner resources for problem solving and supportive healing.

Elena practices as a licensed mental health counselor in Florida - an LMHC holding license MH3516 - and draws on long experience to help people navigate the unfamiliar challenges a serious diagnosis brings. Counseling with her aims to provide a listening ear, tools for managing the anxiety and stress that often accompany life-threatening conditions, and practical referral information when needed. Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Elena acknowledges and supports that decision to get started.
