New Leaf Psych Origin Story

Owner, Elena Lentz, became a licensed social worker in 2018. From the moment she took her first human services course, she dreamed that one day she would own and operate her own private practice—a vision driven by a deep passion for providing meaningful and compassionate care. In late 2024, she began the process of establishing her practice, taking the first steps toward realizing that long-held goal. 

She is thrilled to announce that this dream has now become a reality. Here at New Leaf Psych, it would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey and support you in achieving your mental health and personal goals.

  • Owner

    Hi there! I'm Elena Lentz, LISW-S — owner and clinician at New Leaf Psych. I’m so glad you’ve landed on my page! I’m passionate about supporting others through a collaborative process of finding clarity, healing, and meaning — even in life’s most difficult moments. If you’re feeling anxious or working through the impacts of trauma, I want you to know you’re not alone. I’d be truly honored to support you on your journey toward peace and self-discovery. Let’s take the next step together.


    With years of experience supporting children, adults, and families through some of life’s most turbulent times, I’m here to help. Each session is a space just for you — a time to explore, reflect, and gain deeper insight into yourself and your experiences. I’ll be there to listen with care, offer gentle feedback, and welcome you exactly as you are.


    I strive to bring warmth and compassion into every session. It’s a true privilege to walk alongside you in such meaningful work — creating lasting change, growth, and perhaps even turning over a New Leaf. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about therapy or how I work. I can’t wait to hear from you!
