About Us
Hi, I’m Elaine Kiene, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) and founder of Embolden Therapy & Wellness. With over 30 years of experience in behavioral health, I support people through some of life’s most painful, uncertain, and transformative moments. I began my career working in an inpatient psychiatric unit and have since served clients across community mental health, addiction treatment programs, and outpatient counseling. Along the way, I’ve discovered my true calling: walking alongside individuals and couples as they reclaim their sense of self, rebuild their emotional resilience, and find clarity in the chaos.
I specialize in therapy for adults and older teens who are navigating trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate yet direct—I combine evidence-based practices like CBT, TF-CBT, MBCT, and Solution-Focused Therapy with deep listening, honest feedback, and spiritual grounding. Faith plays a central role in my life, and I bring that same sense of purpose and hope into my work. I try to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Every session is personalized to your needs, so you can feel empowered, build healthier relationships, and move forward with courage and a renewed belief in yourself.
Services
Individual Therapy
We offer one-on-one support to help you understand your concerns, develop effective coping strategies, and reconnect with yourself. Our sessions provide a confidential, nonjudgmental space where adults and older teens (ages 15–17) can speak openly about their thoughts and emotions. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), combined with compassion and honest dialogue, we support meaningful insight and personal growth.
If you’re ready to break unhelpful patterns, gain clarity, and rediscover your inner strength, we’re here to support you.
Areas we support:
- Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
- Depression and mood concerns
- Trauma and emotional distress
- Low self-esteem and self-worth
- Life transitions and personal growth
- Relationship and interpersonal challenges
- Grief and loss
- Behavioral patterns and coping difficulties
Couples Counseling
Build healthy and strong relationships without drama and conflict. We understand relationships take work and sometimes that work requires support. If you feel like you’re having the same argument, finding it hard to rebuild trust, or dealing with big changes like becoming parents or moving, couples therapy can provide a helpful and supportive place to work through these issues.
We use emotionally focused and communication-centered techniques to help you identify core needs, express them in healthy ways, and strengthen your connection.
Couples come to us for help with:
- Communication breakdowns
- Emotional disconnection
- Parenting or blended family challenges
- Conflict resolution
- Trust and betrayal repair
- Transition-related stress (career moves, empty nesting, relocation)
