About Elena Kyrgos
A thoughtful, integrative approach to care
Trauma-informed therapy and coaching for adult women
How I work
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I approach this work through a relational and systems-based lens. I believe our well-being is shaped not only by what happens within us, but by the relationships, environments, and patterns we live within.
With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, my work focuses on the whole person. I support greater ease by attending to the emotional, relational, and physical aspects of your lived experience.

The perspective I bring to this work
Many people come to me after years of seeking support through traditional talk therapy, medical care, or wellness approaches, and still feel stuck, like something essential is missing. You may understand your patterns and have insight into your history, yet still feel disconnected from yourself, your body, or from your life.
This is where my work tends to help. I focus on the deeper layers shaped by trauma, chronic stress, complex relationships, long-term illness, and the grief that can come with losing people or earlier versions of yourself.
My approach goes beyond conversation alone. I often work with women who are looking for a more integrative, body-aware way of working. Together, we gently move past words to access deeper layers of experience, creating the conditions for meaningful change, resilience, and a greater sense of ease over time.
I tend to work well with people who…
- Have tried talk therapy and feel ready to go deeper
- Are curious about an approach that connects mind and body
- Identify as empathic, sensitive, or highly attuned to others
- Function well on the outside while feeling drained internally
What this work is like
- Collaborative and paced
- Grounded in presence and respect
- Attentive to both mind and body
- Oriented toward integration, not quick fixes
Psychotherapy
Trauma-informed, integrative therapy for adult women in Virginia.
Your Body Is More Than A Collection of Parts
Your well-being is shaped by how our emotional, physical, and relational systems interact. In our work together, we’ll focus on what feels most in need of care, while staying open to connections that may offer support in unexpected ways.
