How I Roll
Therapy with me is real, collaborative, and human.
I’m warm, interactive, down-to-earth, and yes, humor absolutely shows up in the therapy room. I believe healing happens best when people feel comfortable enough to be fully themselves, without fear of judgment or pressure to “perform.”
My style blends honesty, compassion, psychoeducation, and practical tools with approaches like EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.
Basically: we can talk about trauma, intimacy, anxiety, shame, relationships, or life completely falling apart… while still laughing occasionally and being actual humans in the room together.
Not My First Rodeo
I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2008 and have had the privilege of supporting children, teens, adults, and relationships through some really hard seasons of life.
My background includes community mental health, psychiatric inpatient care, the criminal justice system, addictions, and private practice. But no matter the setting, the heart of my work has always stayed the same: helping people feel safe, understood, and less alone.
What I'm Passionate About
I’m especially passionate about helping people navigate intimacy, relationships, trauma, anxiety, identity, addiction, and the complicated realities of being human.
A lot of my work focuses on sex and intimacy, helping individuals and couples have conversations they’ve never felt safe enough to have before.
I also deeply value supporting First Responders and the unique stress, pressure, and relational challenges that often come with that lifestyle.
More than anything, I believe therapy should feel human - not stiff, clinical, or overly polished. I truly love this work and feel honored every day to have real conversations with real people about the hard, messy, meaningful parts of life.
Okay, Here's The Official Stuff
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor (LADAC II) in Tennessee, as well as an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and Certified First Responder Counselor (CFRC). I also provide virtual therapy sessions for clients throughout the state of Florida.
I’ve completed advanced training in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, DBT, mindfulness-based approaches, and sex therapy through the Buehler Institute’s Comprehensive Sexology Program.

Elaina Arriondo
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Maybe you’ve spent years masking, overexplaining yourself, or feeling like no one quite understands your experience. Therapy can be a space where you finally exhale.
Elaina works with teens and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, autism, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She has a special passion for working with neurodivergent clients, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those carrying the weight of cultural or relational complexity.
As a neurodiverse, bicultural Hispanic therapist, Elaina brings both professional training and lived experience into the therapy room. Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, affirming, and deeply grounded in helping clients feel emotionally safe and understood.
Her style is warm, relational, and nonjudgmental. Whether you’re processing trauma, learning how to better understand yourself, navigating relationships, or simply feeling stuck, Elaina strives to create a space where you don’t have to filter who you are.
Therapy with Elaina is not about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you feel more connected to yourself, your relationships, and your life.
