Pregnancy counseling with Elena Terminiello at Postpartum Wellness

Meet our Clinical Director

Welcome!  I’m Elena and I’m glad that you made the first step to taking care of yourself.

As a compassionate experienced perinatal therapist practicing in Washington, DC and Maryland for over 20 years, I have seen many women struggle with the overwhelming and confusing transition from pregnancy into the world of motherhood.

As a mom myself, I know about the expectations that others have to “bounce back to your old self,” whether it’s with friends, family, or coworkers.  I understand not only others’ expectations but more importantly the expectations we put on ourselves.  I understand mourning the loss of independence, spontaneity, and your pre-pregnancy identity.

Nobody ever talks about all the changes and unexpected feelings that surface after becoming a mother and there are a lot!  Whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief or just the challenges of adjusting to this new season, we can work through it.

I utilize several evidence-based approaches including mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Trauma Focused-CBT, tailored specifically to your needs.

I’m committed to offering insight, support and a safe, nurturing space to work out the wonderful and often complicated feelings of our motherhood journey!

I look forward to working with you!
