Ellen does a great job of listening and providing support, and knows a lot about my particular concerns and how to creatively address those things. She is a very valuable therapist.

This is my first time with therapy and Ellen has been so attentive with making sure that I have a safe space. She does more than just listen to you talk (which I feel is a problem with therapists where they listen and not give you solutions) and helps you find healthy solutions to your problems and feelings. She’s great at guiding you/validating your feelings.
