Elena Chaffin, LMSW

First, thank you for being here.

I am a Kansas native and graduated from the University of Kansas with my Master’s in Clinical Social Work in May 2026. I practice therapy in Olathe, Kansas, from my office at Hope Roots Collective.

If you are interested in booking a session, please visit my contact page to learn more about scheduling, my areas of expertise, and how to get started.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I have a deep love for exploring the world and making meaning of our lives through writing. Poetry and personal essays have long been ways for me to slow down, wonder, reflect, and make sense of the human experience.

This space is where I share some of those musings—from poetry to short essays and reflections on life, relationships, and the world around us.
