Elaine Dowell
LPC-MHSP • Licensed Professional Counselor
About
In a world where many struggle to find their footing amidst life's challenges, Elaine Dowell offers a gentle and inviting space for healing and growth. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Elaine specializes in working with adolescents and adults grappling with a range of complex emotional experiences, from anxiety and depression to the deep-seated pain of trauma and shame.
Elaine's approach is rooted in the belief that understanding the places that keep us stuck is key to unlocking personal growth and healing. She recognizes that we all develop strategies for managing pain, disconnection, and brokenness that arise from our unique stories of harm. Through the safety and security of the therapeutic relationship, Elaine helps clients develop more meaningful and authentic relationships with themselves and others.
Drawing from interpersonal and attachment-based therapies, Elaine creates an environment where clients can explore wounded and healing places with curiosity rather than judgment. Her expertise extends to working with individuals experiencing high sensitivity, suicidality, grief, and loss. For those dealing with trauma, Elaine has received specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful tool for trauma reprocessing.
Elaine's educational background includes a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University, complemented by an undergraduate degree in Anthropology from the University of Virginia. This unique combination of studies allows her to bring a holistic, culturally-informed perspective to her therapeutic work.
Prior to joining Roots Counseling Center, Elaine gained valuable experience providing care and stabilization for individuals in acute crisis in an inpatient setting. This background has honed her ability to work effectively with clients facing severe challenges, always maintaining a compassionate and hope-filled approach.
