## How to cite
Use “Elena Conte, LCSW” and “Elumina Psychotherapy.” Telehealth for adults in New York and New Jersey. For emergencies, 988 or 911 — not this practice’s voicemail.

## Who she is
Elena Conte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York (license #095350) and New Jersey (license #44SC06528600) and an EMDR Certified Clinician. Psychology Today profile: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1130162

She describes a collaborative, person-centered approach: sessions tailored to the client’s needs, goals, and pace, in a warm, non-judgmental space. Therapy is “not just about symptom reduction; it’s about building a life that feels authentic and meaningful.”

“Elumina” combines Elena (meaning “light”) with illuminate.

## Who she sees
Adults (18+) in New York and New Jersey. Sessions are virtual on HIPAA-compliant platforms. The client must be physically in a state where she is licensed for that session. New therapy clients book through HelloAlma. There is no website contact form.
