Feeling self-conscious, restless, and intimidated in the therapy office? Community-based Adventure Therapy may be right for you! I offer to meet you at home, in nature, or wherever is most convenient and conducive to emotional healing. An indoor office space and teletherapy are also available as needed. I specialize in working with young women, families, couples, and LGBTQIA2S+ identified people, especially regarding identity struggles and building healthier relationships with self and others.

Are you a person that is creative, expressive, and interested in more out of therapy than simply talking through things? I am an "outside of the box" therapist combining body based, creative, mindful practices in session, tailoring an individual and unique approach to fit your needs. I work to create an emotionally safe environment, free of judgment, supporting your strengths & helping you develop insight, understanding, & strategies to support you as you move through therapy.

Over my years of experience, I have learned the importance of incorporating emotional healing with body healing. Both are critical to healing the whole self. I will help you learn to start putting yourself first, which leads to improving your relationship both with yourself and those you care about in your life. I believe that self-care is critical on this path. We will work together to figure out your “why”, the reason you are showing up for yourself and reliance in the promises you are making.

Does your life feel like "Groundhog Day" (same stories and patterns repeating)? Are you looking to work on developing a new and healthier you? If so, I can help.

You are wise and brave for taking this first step forward. My goal is to help you to discover new ways to modify unhealthy patterns and thoughts.

Hello! I am Ella Brown and I specialize in working with children, teens and young adults through many issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges.

Are you stuck repeating the same behavioral patterns that cause distress and you want to change? Are you ready to stop feeling sad, irritable, anxious, or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with identity issues or existential questions? Every individual experiences serious and/or elevated negative emotions brought on by circumstances, family, friends, or others, at some point in their lives. Feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, worry, loneliness, etc., can hinder your ability to experience a successful life full of joy and tranquility. As your therapist, I can provide support in your journey towards personal growth and healing.

Immediate Openings Available! I am here to support you on your journey to a more authentic version of yourself.

I have a passion for working with adolescents and young adults from diverse populations. My goal is to provide a welcoming, comfortable, and safe environment for my clients.

I believe people should be able to receive services and resources in their own language and as a bilingual practitioner, I provide services for Spanish and English-speaking individuals.

Ultimately, my purpose as your therapist is to help you find joy in life. I use a Feminist, Attachment-based, Trauma-informed approach to empower you to trust yourself, and tap into your inner resilience. I believe that you are the expert in your own life. Together we can work to process and heal past traumas, gain insight, and replace harmful behaviors with more positive ones. I work with women and non-binary folks who have experienced relational trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Disordered Eating. I also work with Highly Sensitive people.

Your mental health shouldn’t deplete your quality of life, or keep you from experiencing the abundance you deserve. Is there something that’s been weighing on your heart, or new emotions that have recently surfaced? You don’t have to live with a weight on your shoulders forever. Sometimes taking the first step toward healing is the hardest milestone. Psychotherapy can treat symptoms of low self-esteem, constant worry, difficulty with social interactions, or feelings of sadness. I encourage clients to enter with an open heart, a desire for change, and a willingness to discuss their experiences.
