Elaine Skoulas, MA, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

When you are looking for a therapist, it is often because something no longer feels manageable on your own. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by past experiences, living with chronic pain, or exhausted from always holding it together. You might appear high-achieving and capable on the outside, but inside, you feel disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck.

You do not have to go through this alone. I believe in the power of therapy to create meaningful change at any stage of life. I work especially with tender hearts, sensitive and caring people who feel deeply, and often carry more than their share. Whether you are living with anxiety, carrying the impact of past experiences, or caught in patterns that keep you from moving forward, healing is possible.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I integrate talk therapy with somatic and mind-body approaches, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy. These methods support nervous system regulation, help process what has felt stuck, and strengthen your connection to yourself. Together, we explore how your nervous system has adapted to past experiences, and how those patterns show up today. With curiosity and care, we create space for new ways of relating to yourself and the world.

I see symptoms as meaningful responses to overwhelming circumstances. They are often your system’s best attempt to help you survive. I hold space for your whole experience, not just the parts that feel painful. Many of the clients I work with are highly sensitive people, creatives, perfectionists, and caretakers who are ready to move from surviving and coping to truly healing. Therapy with me is relational, personalized, and deeply attuned to your needs.

If this speaks to you, I would be honored to support your healing.
