*I am not able to accept new patients at this time.* Are you at a point where you or a loved one has lost hope? With over 27 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, marriages, and families, I've seen many find hope that was previously absent by using a short-term, targeted, and effective approach to counseling. Each therapist has unique strengths. Mine is working through tough problems other therapists don't prefer to treat by seeing clients in their homes rather than in an office. Most people are able to see a significant change within 6 months. Counseling should not last forever and neither should your struggles

At Brighter Brains we use a holistic approach to treat problems at the source ... the brain.

Brain-body health is necessary for maintaining long-term mental stability, physical wellness, and spiritual contentment. Individualized protocols are customized for each client using state-of-the-art equipment and proven treatment methods to address problems directly and provide relief quickly. Our approach to mental health is non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical.

Talking about sex can be very uncomfortable and feel awkward. It can be made worse by issues with our pelvic floor or reproductive system. This can leave you feeling disconnected from your body and/or your partner. Maybe you're noticing that you're avoiding sex or having sex that is painful or not pleasurable. Confusion, loneliness, shame, frustration are all common emotions that show up when we want something different in our sex lives but don't know how. I specialize in helping individuals and couples struggling with sex and pelvic floor dysfunction reconnect to themselves and each other through somatic and sex based therapies.

My ideal client is someone who understands that change is an inevitable part of the life cycle and is willing to work towards accepting that process. I work with a variety of mental health issues in children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

Hi there! My name is Amberly Ellis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. I approach counseling from an integrative, attachment-based, and interpersonal neurobiology lens, recognizing the link between behavior, the nervous system, and interpersonal connection. I believe the behaviors children and teens display are merely their way of communicating a need - a need to connect, a need to be known, a need to be heard, and a need for felt safety. It is my goal to not just help my clients “fix the problem,” but to help build understanding, connection, and a victorious mind.

The idea of reaching out and asking for help can be a daunting task for many. For some, the idea of seeking help was downplayed or discouraged from an early age. For others, it feels overwhelming to begin digging deeper or speaking honestly about their situation. You are definitely not alone in this. It's not unusual to feel overwhelmed, lost, depressed, anxious, and alone when handling life's stressors. While many people want out of this cycle, it's often too overwhelming to do it alone. Together, we'll work to create more adaptive habits, recognize patterns, and build insights to help you get the most that life has to offer.

My main focus is to help clients identify and build on their personal strengths so they can overcome the obstacles preventing them from realizing their full potential. My first priority when I meet with a client is to collaboratively establish therapy goals and determine what they would like to attain from the counseling process. Based on this information I personalize each session to help my clients achieve their goals. With every interaction, my goal is always the same: that you leave my office feeling that you were heard and validated.

I know that simply being around others feels like an almost impossible task much of the time; people can be selfish, ignorant, and judgmental, at times even your family and friends. You've endured abuse and often are overwhelmed with emotion. Your external life and what you feel within yourself can feel wholly disconnected -- It is precisely because of this disconnection that we suffer. I am here to listen, to learn of your experiences, and together we will awaken a new sense of yourself by discovering a hidden humanity in others, revealing a world you never thought possible.
