Yelena Kart

Hello and welcome. My name is Yelena, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I help LGBTQIA+ folks, high-achievers, and anyone who's been made to feel ‘too much’ or ‘not enough’ break free from anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout. I also help folks dealing with chronic pain and grief and enjoy working with neurodivergent clients as well. As an affirming, HAES-aligned therapist, I offer a warm, judgment-free space, often with a little humor, where you can quiet your inner critic and build real self-compassion. Virtually anywhere in Washington.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's from Northwestern University, and an LGBTQ+-affirming, HAES-aligned clinician. I draw from CBT, DBT, narrative, and trauma-focused therapy, tailored to you.

While every session is a conversation, the first session is a conversation that is entirely focused on you. Sessions feel warm and collaborative, with a little humor mixed in, as we quiet self-criticism and build self-compassion.
