Hi. I’m Elvin!

Elvin Aydin Keles, PhD, LPC, LMHC, NCC
Psychotherapy for High-Performing Multicultural Individuals, Couples and Families

I am a dedicated psychotherapist specializing in guiding multicultural, high-performing professionals, couples and families toward transformation.

Through evidence based approaches in therapy, I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I am here to listen, understand, and empower you.

This collaborative process can help you address challenges that you may be struggling to overcome on your own and make positive changes in your life.

I am committed to helping you realize your potential and live a more fulfilling life. In this space, I offer a safe and inclusive environment that welcomes individuals from all walks of life.

My practice is rooted in multiculturalism, anti-racism, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and neurodiversity. Together, we can explore your experiences and work towards healing and growth.

My approach is client-centered, which means that I respect and prioritize your unique needs and goals. I aim to make you feel empowered, whether at work or in your personal relationships, and help you build resilience, confidence and the skills needed to navigate life’s ups and downs.

"Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." - Rumi
