LICSW

Offering in-person and teletherapy

I look forward to helping you thrive

Hi! My name is Elaina Vig (she/they). I specialize in working with Queer folks and allies who wish to make lasting changes while processing life hardships. I tailor my approach to your timing and your needs. Some of the work we will do together will be difficult, some of it will be exhilarating and awakening. I use a strengths-based and client-centered approach– meaning that each session is all about you!

I provide a safe, comfortable, and confidential space where you are free to be you. Some areas that I may be helpful: gender and sexuality issues and exploration, disordered eating, depression, anxieties, pet loss, life transitions, & unprocessed traumas. We will work together to see new perspectives and heal the inner you.

 

I am a Queer, Mixed Race Therapist who values equity, learning, adventure, humor, and compassion. I believe that humans have the ability to change and grow throughout their lifespan. We are not stagnant. If you are looking for a sassy, appropriately humorous, and overly swear word-y therapist– I’m it!
