  • In Honor of Mental health Awareness: Owner of Iris Healing and Ambassador for those with Mental Health Disorders discusses her work in Trauma and Mental Health using Brain Spotting, Neuro feedback, TMS and Spirituality in Psychotherapy

    In Honor of Mental health Awareness: Owner of Iris Healing and Ambassador for those with Mental Health Disorders discusses her work in Trauma and Mental Health using Brain Spotting, Neuro feedback, TMS and Spirituality in Psychotherapy
    May 16 2025
    Dr. Elena Kapustina found her true calling and completed her PsyD in Clinical Psychology after earning her MBA and spending years working as the CFO for major corporations. She founded Iris Healing® to holistically work with dual diagnosis patients in order to create a more sustainable recovery. From managing 1,000 employees to creating a top of the line treatment center, Dr. Kapustina harnesses her passion to create positive experiences for others.
    After completing her Doctorate degree and successfully defending her dissertation “Conceptualizing Spirituality in Psychotherapy,” she opened the doors to Iris Healing® Retreat in Woodland Hills. Subsequently, she opened an outpatient wellness center nearby to provide an amazing continuum of care for those seeking treatment from substance abuse, co-occurring disorders and clients with trauma.
    Elena is uniquely positioned to support clients and their families through the process of recovery due to her diverse education, combining real world business acumen with a grounded, compassionate and nurturing approach to individual care.

    Whenever Elena is not with clients or their families, you will see her attending educational events, conferences and just enjoying talking to people and helping as much as she can. She is an eternal student – constantly seeking new paths to personal growth and evolution that she can offer her community and clients.

    Elena served as the editor for a charitable psychology magazine called Gratitude and continues to volunteer and support several non-profits. She strongly believes in treatment over incarceration and therefore spends substantial time bringing awareness to the legal community while also advocating for her clients.

    She also has a sense of adventure – having explored over 40 countries – which gives her a open-minded and diverse perspective on her work. In her free time you can find Elena playing on the beach with her daughter and practicing hot yoga.

    We are sending Love, Light and Peace from Elena to all of you!



    Since the recent Southern California fires, we have relocated and are currently rebuilding our studio. We appreciate your understanding as we resolve technical issues and finalize our new space.
