Elena Grinevitch
Psychologist and Co-Director
Hello! I’m Elena Grinevitch, the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Healing Tree Psychology and Wellness Centre.
I’m a psychologist who helps people heal from the effects of trauma, including complex trauma, dissociation, and dissociative disorders. So many of the people I work with arrive feeling deeply disconnected—from others, from their world, and even from themselves. They feel confused, lost, and caught in cycles of frustration or emptiness. Together, we explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, gently uncovering the wounds and burdens that have kept them from feeling whole and connected.
I have a special focus on working with survivors of abuse and neglect. Many don’t recognize their experiences as trauma, instead coming to therapy believing they’re simply struggling with depression, anxiety, or relationship challenges. Over time, they come to understand how early emotional neglect, verbal abuse, or inconsistent care can leave lasting imprints on emotional and neurological development—and how healing those wounds can bring profound transformation.
My approach is collaborative and humanistic, rooted in deep respect for your inner wisdom. I work gently but purposefully, helping you build self‑understanding, insight, and resilience. Together, we create space for healing and integration so that your true Self can emerge with clarity, calm, and confidence.
My own journey to becoming a psychologist was shaped by personal experiences of support and guidance—moments when therapy helped me heal deep emotional pain and transform my relationship with myself and others. Those experiences continue to inspire my work every day and remind me of the profound power of compassion in healing.
Helping others change their lives is both my passion and my privilege. Every day, I feel deeply humbled by the trust clients place in me as they share their most vulnerable moments and open themselves to growth and healing.
