Masters Level Therapist
Gabby Ellis
You deserve to feel heard, supported, and encouraged. It can be difficult to know where to begin to take that next step towards healing and recovery, but you do not have to do it alone. It is my privilege to travel alongside you through your journey of healing and discovery. I am interested in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, multicultural concerns, grief, addiction, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicidality.
For children, I use a child-centered play and expressive arts approach; play is how children communicate and process their experiences so they can move toward healing and growth. I work from a trauma-informed lens using a variety of interventions: CBT, strength-based, mindfulness, sand-tray, emotion-focused, EMDR, and attachment-centered.
My goal is to create a safe, accepting, and supportive environment that can hold whatever you bring into the room. Therapy is a collaborative journey in which we work together to discover what healing will look like for you. I do not have all the answers, but you do not have to discover them alone. Come take the first step and see where the journey goes!
