Elaine Schmidt is a Clinical Professional Counselor Intern in Nevada, supervised by Tamara Zenner, and holds a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School. As a trauma therapist offering telehealth sessions across Nevada, she works with adults and older adults on grief counseling, the effects of abuse, and major life transitions.
Her Approach
You are adjusting to a loss that reshaped your daily life: a spouse who died, a health diagnosis, a role you no longer have, or an independence you can’t count on the way you used to. Elaine offers therapy for older adults facing the specific losses that come with aging, as well as younger adults moving through comparable change. She works with that adjustment while it’s still happening, not after you’ve already settled into it.
In session, Elaine asks about your specific background, not as a formality but as something she treats as central to how she understands what you’re carrying. She moves at your pace rather than working through a fixed agenda, and she names what she’s noticing without pushing you toward a conclusion before you’re ready. Clients often say the first session feels less like an interview and more like a conversation they didn’t have to prepare for.
