Trauma is an invisible injury to others and often to ourselves. Once visible, healing can happen. If not acknowledged, a trauma injury can leave you vulnerable to a reactionary process called PTSD. Our logical (left) brain cannot reason with the emotional pain, leaving you in a reactive cycle, causing a fight, flight or freeze response. I will assist you in reprocessing the trauma memory held in the creative (right) brain to alleviate the stuck emotional pain and restore your ability to have reasoning power, logical outcomes and return to your natural state of wellbeing. I am certified in EMDR. Call for a free 30 min consultation.

At one point or another, we discover that life is full of ups and downs. The bad news is that no matter how hard we try to hold on to the good times and avoid the bad times, both seem to eventually dissolve into the other. The good news is that this isn't a problem and doesn't need to be feared. Successful therapy helps clients learn to understand how our lives flow, clarifies the confusion that comes when things feel particularly stuck and unsettled, and helps to draw out the wisdom of our mind, body, and spirit.

On the outside, you look super successful, likely the poster child for how things “ought to be”. You went to a good school, have a rewarding career and maybe got married and had some amazing kids. You have done what you expected would make you FEEL accomplished, grateful, and happy. Except that you don’t. Lately, coloring inside the lines isn’t giving you the same ‘HIT’ it used to. Instead, you are wondering “Whose rules are these anyway and why do I need to keep following them?” The gap between what is expected and how you truly feel inside keeps growing wider. You're tired- and feeling alone, disillusioned, and conned.

People are often drawn to therapy when they are struggling and in pain, when they are in a time of transition, or when they feel themselves to be on the edge of growth. Often these areas overlap. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for decades and I continue to deeply appreciate the journey of healing and discovery that therapy can be. Where are you on your journey? What type of support and connection are you seeking? I make an effort to return calls within 24 hours. Please reach out if you need more information or would like to hear a human voice.

I love working alongside adults and teens who are ready to explore what is going on underneath their symptoms. Clients I support seek therapy for help with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and/or suicidal ideation among other difficult things. Often (though not always), clients are part of the LGBTQ+ community and are interested in figuring out how their experience of gender identity and/or sexuality fits into their mental health and lives. First, we get to know you better while we find ways to cope with symptoms. When you’re ready, we take a deep dive together into what’s causing life to feel hard, unmanageable, or even unlivable.

Currently accepting couples cases only. Hi! I'm Ely Reisen, Owner and Therapist at Connection Centered Counseling, PLLC. In my practice, I view the concerns and needs brought to therapy as the result of interacting and moving variables within one’s life. I also believe that when people have supportive relationships in their lives, when they know how to ask for what they need in healthy ways, when they know how to set important boundaries, and when they are empowered toward the accomplishment of deeply personal goals, many of the concerns and complaints that bring people to counseling resolve.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
