Therapy · Portland, Maine
Steadier days are possible.
Individual and couples therapy for anxiety, grief, burnout, and the seasons of life that ask more of you than you have to give.
Now accepting new clients. In person and online.
How I work
Steady, collaborative, and grounded in what works.
Paced, not pushed
We move at the speed that is right for you. Insight lands when it has room to.

Grounded in evidence
Drawing on CBT, ACT, and EMDR, adapted to the person in the room rather than the other way around.

About
Hi, I’m Elena Marsh, LCSW.
I have spent twelve years sitting with people through the hard middle of things: panic that arrives out of nowhere, marriages that have gone quiet, grief that will not stay in its lane.
My practice is small on purpose. Fewer clients means more attention, and more attention is most of what good therapy is.

I came in braced for advice. What I got was room to think, and someone steady enough to think alongside.
