Elena Felder
Mental Health Therapist at Private Practice
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarElena Felder is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over two decades of clinical experience focused on recovery from abuse, addiction, and intergenerational trauma, practicing in Berkeley and San Francisco. Trained in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy and certified in EMDR, she blends trauma processing with resource-building to treat complex presentations including dissociation, eating disorders, and co-occurring substance use. Elena has deep community mental health roots—working with children in special education, people living with HIV, women and families affected by poverty and racism—and led internship training and supervision at a long-running nonprofit recovery clinic. She built her private practice while still an intern in 1998 and later formalized the training program to mentor clinicians in trauma-focused care. Notably, Elena pairs rigorous clinical training with a creative, reflective approach—aptly hinted by her GitHub motto “building bridges made of thought to castles in the clouds”—bringing both structure and imagination to therapy.
