01. you might be in the right place.

You’ve arrived if:

  • You’re someone who has always felt a little different and is looking for a place to feel safety, belonging, and understanding.

  • You’re a couple struggling to navigate fight-or-flight reactions, dysregulation, trauma, or recurring negative cycles that keep you from feeling connected

  • You’re a parent looking to support your struggling child or adolescent’s meltdowns, resistance, school avoidance, overwhelm, or isolation.

  • You’re a family that wants help navigating a hard transition, difficult communication, or big feelings.

  • You're a neurodivergent (autistic/ADHD/C-PTSD) human or parent of a human who was just diagnosed — or who is just beginning to wonder.

You don't have to come in already knowing what you need. You just have to be willing to start.

02. what's different here.

Many therapy approaches treat being different as a problem to manage. This practice is built on a different belief: that every single human is wired differently, and that we do our best when we understand our strengths and take pride in our differences. We see our clients not as having “deficits” to correct, behaviors to extinguish, or “deficiencies” to be masked. We see each of our clients as an important and valuable member of the communities they are part of.

The goal is never to make you seem more “normal” or neurotypical. The goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply, move through the world with greater ease, and build the connections that matter to you — on your own terms.

Therapy here is experiential, relational, and grounded in the wisdom of the body and the brain. Growth and development happen through relationship — not despite it.

"You don't need a diagnosis to reach out. You don't need to have the right words. You just need to be here." — Elaine Bredl, LMFT

04. about elaine.

I'm Elaine Bredl, LMFT, Registered Play Therapist, and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. I'm also a neurodivergent parent in a neurocomplex family, which means I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to this work.

I founded Every Body Heals because I believe the mental health system has a lot to learn from the neurodivergent community — about what real support looks like, what healing requires, and what it means to truly belong to yourself.

I see clients in person in Placerville, California, and via telehealth throughout California and Oregon (license transfer pending).

  • Taking the first step is often the hardest part. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can figure out together whether I'm the right fit for what you're looking for. No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation.

  • I offer therapy for children, adults, and families; neurodivergent assessment; social navigation support; parent coaching; and clinical supervision. All services are grounded in neurodiversity-affirming, relationship-based approaches.

  • I see clients in person in Placerville, CA and via telehealth throughout California and Oregon. I offer a sliding scale and can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Accepting new clients beginning August 2026.
