Elena Kopel, LPC

My first job out of graduate school was at an OCD and anxiety disorders focused clinic. I received in-depth training in these areas and I have been working with clients with OCD, hoarding disorder, executive functioning challenges, and other related experiences since 2023.

For all of my clients, I pull from a wide variety of modalities to find what is going to feel most sustainable and achievable moving forward. I use ERP, I-CBT, ACT, compassion focused, somatic, IFS, and anti-oppression techniques/skills to name some.

I have been working with clients with OCD since 2023 and have both lived and familial experience with OCD. I have taken trainings from NOCD, attended conferences through the IOCDF, and continue to hone my skills related to working with such clients.

I have been working with members of the queer community in some capacity for the last ten years. My practice works to center decolonizied and anti-oppression techniques and I am constantly learning and unlearning to mitigate harm that has been caused in wellness spaces. I work to create trusted relationships with all of my clients, which means collaborating to build that trust together. I also have trainings working with survivors of religious trauma and the “Troubled Teen Industry” (TTI).
