disclaimer:
One of the reasons we do a four session assessment is to determine exactly that. If you meet with a therapist and it doesn't feel like a good fit, we are happy to transfer you to another therapist on our staff or provide outside referrals.
DISCLAIMER: We reserve the right to refuse services to any person at any time who we deem to have needs out of our scope of practice (especially personality disorders & psychotic disorders since they require in person support), disrespectful and harassing of staff, or any other reason that will either violate our practice standards or for private reasons. You will immediately be referred to another practitioner for continued work. We will provide at least one referral resource.You can also visit PsychologyToday.com for a list of other providers.
BIOGRAPHY
Elisabeth (Ellie) enjoys working with an array of clients, including young women, couples and families navigating life changes and transitions. She specializes in trauma therapy and believes in an integrative approach to healing. Ellie provides a safe and warm environment for clients to express any and all feelings and life challenges (including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addiction, sobriety, relationships, etc.). She believes that a strong therapeutic relationship is vital to healing and growth and therefore prioritize bringing warmth and compassion to my clients, especially the parts of ourselves that have felt neglected and alone. Ellie has experience working with clients with various backgrounds and believes in a creative, tailored and collaborative approach to make each client feel seen, heard, understood and valued.
