Meet Elena Rodgers, LISW-S

Owner of New Leaf Psychotherapy Services

I work with adolescents and adults across Ohio to help untangle patterns of behavior that no longer serve them. Because trauma and anxiety are fundamentally about feeling unsafe or disconnected, my practice is deeply relational. We won't just talk about your surface-level symptoms; we will look at how your nervous system adapted to keep you safe; and how those same adaptations (like people-pleasing, over-functioning, or shutting down) might be burning you out today.

Relational Trauma & Anxiety Therapy for Teens and Adults in Ohio

Online therapy for anxiety, relational trauma, and burnout.

Does this sound like your daily reality? From the outside, you likely have it all together. On the inside, your brain feels like it’s constantly on high alert:

  • Overthinking every detail: Second-guessing past interactions, replaying texts, or over-analyzing simple decisions.

  • Putting everyone else first: Anticipating what everyone needs before you even pause to check in with yourself.

  • Feeling like "just relaxing" is impossible: Carrying chronic exhaustion, physical tension, or a persistent feeling that your relationships are insecure and chaotic.

If you’ve lived with long-term anxiety or relational trauma, these feelings aren't a personal failure. They are your nervous system's way of protecting you based on past experiences. But living in survival mode isn't sustainable.
