About Elena Bauer
She works with people who struggle with high anxiety, low self-esteem and self-worth concerns, and those who grew up in emotionally toxic environments. Her practice includes support for individuals who have been in relationships with narcissistic partners or who felt suffocated and unseen within their family or social circles. Patients who experienced emotional toxicity often describe a sense of arrested emotional development, and Bauer focuses on helping them move through that freeze toward greater resilience and growth.
Drawing on psychodynamic therapy and trauma-focused therapy, she attends to the underlying emotional patterns that shape present-day suffering. She has cited influences such as Philip Bromberg, Donald Winnicott, Françoise Dolto, Paul Claude Racamier, and Christopher Bollas, and in session she listens for recurring dynamics that she characterizes as emotional footprints. Over time, patients who feel controlled by intense emotions acquire practical tools and deeper understanding to manage their inner experience and expand emotional freedom.
Elena Bauer conducts work in English and French and has a clinical focus that includes stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, family issues, grief, and compassion fatigue. She is not currently accepting clients.
