  • I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with a passion for helping clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their healing journey. Since earning my Master of Social Work degree I’ve had the privilege of working across a variety of mental health settings, including community mental health and inpatient care.

    My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, EMDR, and person-centered counseling to tailor each session to your unique needs. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space is central to my work—I believe therapy is most effective when you feel truly seen and heard.

    I have experience supporting individuals who are navigating traumatic loss, grief, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ issues, as well as adolescents (ages 13 and up) who are working through emotional and behavioral challenges. No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity, helping you build insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

    I’m honored to be part of your healing process and look forward to supporting you on your path toward greater well-being.

  • Hi, I am Elena Rodgers, LISW-S, therapist and owner of New Leaf Psychotherapy Services. From the outside, you likely have it all together. On the inside, you might feel like your brain is constantly on high alert: second-guessing your interactions, overthinking decisions, or anticipating what everyone else needs before taking care of yourself. When you’ve experienced relational trauma or lived with anxiety for a long time, "just relaxing" isn’t an option. It shows up as exhaustion, tension in your body, or a feeling that your relationships are constantly insecure and chaotic.

    I work with adolescents and adults, helping untangle these exact patterns. Because anxiety and trauma are about feeling unsafe or disconnected, my practice is deeply relational. We won’t just talk about your symptoms; we will look at how your nervous system adapted to keep you safe in the past, and how those same adaptations might be burning you out today.

    In session, I am active, warm, and honest. You won’t get a silent therapist nodding along while you speak; you will get a grounded collaborator who helps you slow down, process the heavy stuff, and build real self-confidence. If you’re ready, reach out for a free consultation call. Let’s see if we’re a good fit!
