My name is Elena Spektorov and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’ve been licensed since 2009. In my practice, I use a variety of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and other treatment approaches. I explore how some of our thinking patterns can contribute to our current challenges and explore how to reverse them. I will assign homework between sessions to further assist with developing self-monitoring skills between sessions. In addition, to private practice, I also work as a Clinician Supervisor with Sacramento County Behavioral Health.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength include ability to listen, relate and come up with a specific plan to manage challenges.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My ideal clients are adults who are willing to explore their current challenges and open to new approaches in managing them.
