Adi Elinoff, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC)

You ask, "Do you still want to be with me?" Your partner hears an accusation; you were hoping for reassurance. You end up arguing about why you asked, and the question underneath goes unanswered. Or you say "it's fine" before you've worked out what you actually need. I work with individuals and couples at these points of misunderstanding. Your history matters. So do sleep, money, housing, and whether anyone is sharing the load. Sometimes the most useful next step is practical support, a clearer agreement, or a chance to rest. I want to understand your actual circumstances and what matters to you before we decide what to work on. I'm down to earth and direct. If I think how you're handling something is working against what you want, I'll say so and explain my thinking. I'll also ask what I might be missing. You can disagree with my perspective and ask why we're trying a particular exercise. Your priorities guide the work. My focus is attachment, with a psychodynamic foundation: how earlier experiences shape what a moment means to you now. We notice when an old hurt surfaces and practice a different response. With couples, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps us map the cycle between you. Parts work helps us understand conflicting feelings and protective responses. I occasionally use Gottman techniques for a specific conflict or conversation. There's room for kindness, humor, and talking plainly about what's going on. Start with a free 20-minute phone consultation. Bring your questions and get a feel for how we talk together.

I offer individual and couples therapy in person in Westminster and online. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, and kink-aware. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC), with a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University and Gottman Level 2 training. I keep the practical side straightforward, with online scheduling, a simple way to contact me about appointments, and resources you can return to between sessions.
