Elena Duong, Psy.D.

Labelled as “too sensitive” or easily overwhelmed? Wondering where you fit in the world? Consider yourself an introvert or a highly sensitive person? If so, you may have grown up feeling like an outsider or alone in your struggles. Together, we can discover what’s important to you and what’s not. With me, the hope is you’ll have a brief reprieve from this noisy world. You’ll feel safe, understood, not alone, and most importantly, seen as who you are, which is enough, regardless of what anyone says, including your inner critic. You’ll be accepted with all your beautiful quirks making you who you are. As a fellow human and therapist, who has been on their own journey, I hope to work with you by your side, equipping you with various therapeutic skills, until you are ready to fly solo. Once you have done the work, things will slowly trickle into place. In the meantime, I will be in your tag team as backup support, genuinely rooting for you, and holding a nonjudgemental and non-shaming space to steady yourself until you are ready. At times, being another voice to combat that negative voice from within. In all, my heart breaks for those who have gone through life struggling alone and in silence, so I hope this shared space can serve as a moment of relief. Start with a free consultation. Consult if you feel lost in the chaos of life and/or feeling dissatisfied with your life situation. Once you book the consultation, you will have made the first step towards yourself and your mental health. No matter what, it’s never too late.
