WELCOME to Ellie Mental Health in South County STL. I'm so happy that you are here and are ready to start your or your loved ones mental health journey. I am the Clinic Director and would love to help you connect with one of my wonderfully, talented clinicians. We believe counseling can be a safe place to begin this healing. Myself and my clinicians aim to bring an authentic approach that includes humor, compassion, acceptance and creativity to the therapy room.

You sometimes feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you don’t know where to start. Feeling stressed, irritated, sad, heavy, or hopeless happens to all of us, and it can be hard to show our feelings when we think no one will understand or that we will be judged. You are never alone even when you feel like you are! I am here to listen and to help you feel supported. Let’s work together to help you find more successful ways to utilize your current strengths and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

Life transitions can be hard. I help clients identify inner strengths and values so that they can experience growth after crisis, loss, or medical illness. My approach to therapy is grounded in helping clients develop confidence in managing stressors and communicating effectively in their relationships. Clients with depression or anxiety related to medical illness will gain tools to manage pain and health anxiety. Clients who are experiencing relationship stress will learn new healthy relationship patterns. Client's who want to heal after a stressful experience will learn how to increase feelings of inner strength and safety.

If you are anything like me, you have had a moment in your life when you asked yourself "How can I make the pain stop?" For me, therapy is one option for hurting individuals who want to work through pain to find answers to life's experiences & questions. I have had the privilege & challenge to walk alongside individuals, couples and families working to initiate the road to recovery that is so often littered with significant loss & conflict. If you are thinking of starting therapy and are feeling really anxious or hopeless, you are not alone!

It takes courage to walk in and sit down with someone to share your story. An honest story that includes stress, anxieties, sadness, grief, and emotional suffering. My intention as a therapist is to create a safe and inclusive space for clients. This space allows individuals to open up and be present with the emotions, thoughts, and feelings that make up the human experience. I currently specialize in working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Taking the steps to locate and secure a therapist are not easy. You’ve probably been through some tough challenges that have brought you to this place today. However, you don’t have to navigate the hardships of life on your own. Allow me to help you build the skills you need to tap into your own resilience and create lasting changes!

Embarking on the path to healing from trauma is a courageous and deeply personal journey. It requires individualized and compassionate support in a safe and confidential space that allows you to openly explore your emotions, thoughts, and concerns. Your journey is distinct, and together, we delve into the roots of trauma empowering you to process and integrate these experiences in a way that fosters lasting healing. Through our collaborative work, you will be awakened to your unique gifts and strengths so that you may face and overcome your fears and begin pursuing the life you want.

Have you been struggling recently and not knowing how to cope? Have you been navigating stress with life, school, relationships, and/or your sports performance? I understand what it feels like to not know what is next, to feel like there is this weight on your shoulders and chest; I want you to know you are not alone. Therapy is nothing to be ashamed of and I want to be the person to help you through this stage in your life so you can become your most authentic self.

Are you experiencing moments of change? Is this a time in your life when that change is bringing to the foreground feelings of anxiety, depression or grief? Life can get really overwhelming at times. Those times can sometimes make us feel powerless and out of control. You do not have to struggle alone. I believe times of loss and change can bring about self-awareness and healing. And that change is an opportunity to cultivate compassion and loving kindness towards ourselves and others.

Hi, I’m Taylore and I’m so glad you found your way here. I specialize in partnering with women who struggle with emotional turmoil, difficulty coping with daily life, stressful relationships & self criticism. I have extensive experience in working with others to improve relationships with their self and others, cope more effectively, experience inner peace, & work towards the life that they want.

Congratulations on taking a positive step toward a healthier and happier life! My name is Tricia Merlo-Follmer. I am a psychotherapist who practices in the South County area. I work with many people who experience issues such as: Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Grief, Trauma and relationship issues. I offer various treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) among other therapies that help heal traumatic experiences. If you need to take control over your life/emotions, please call for an appointment. I have helped many people gain a sense of confidence and self-worth.

Dr. Helen Friedman is a compassionate and interactive clinical psychologist with 10 years of additional formal training after her Ph.D. and 41 years in practice. She works with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, divorce, sexual and relationship issues.

Growth and healing is fostered when we feel accepted and heard. I show up for my clients with an inclusive, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental approach to sessions. I meet you with a supportive and open attitude as you explore your authentic self and grow into your potential. We can get there by learning and then practicing new coping techniques that can improve your quality of life while working to understand the patterns that may have led you to seek support. Together, we can develop a new path with less suffering and a better understanding of yourself and your limits.

I work with families and individuals ages 12 and up who are seeking support with daily life challenges related to emotional, relational, spiritual or career concerns.

I know that reaching out for help can be one of the hardest things any of us do. That’s why I aim to make your experience with help-seeking and mental health as approachable and, dare I say, as fun as possible. I believe that counseling and therapy should be an experience that challenges us in different ways and pushes us to grow through our problems. That’s why, in addition to traditional one-on-one therapy, I offer new and different approaches such as animal-assisted therapy and cognitive-based adventure therapy. There are so many avenues we can take to change ourselves and I hope that what I offer can make that accessible.

Have you felt like you are missing out on life? Have you felt like you are in a slump that you can’t dig yourself out off? Like you been struggling for so long without a break from the stress of it all? Whether your struggle is depression, anxiety, phobias or trauma, I am here to offer a safe space for you. What you want to feel is empowered, capable and resilient to handle the challenge; or ready to face down any fear. I've helped countless individuals! Let me help you reclaim your resiliency today!

I believe that everyone can benefit from having an empowering, nonjudgmental therapist in their life. You may feel like you’re functioning okay on the outside but have disruptive thoughts, challenging relationships, or past situations that interrupt your life. I can provide you or your child with a space where you can be your authentic self while working towards making changes, overcoming difficulties, and coping with life’s variety of challenges. I specialize in OCD, anxiety disorders, depression, grief/loss, and emotional dysregulation.
