About
Compassion and safety, metaphors and stories, laughter and creativity, brainstorming and education are some of the tools I will combine to help you feel understood, heal, and then grow. I will adjust my style to what I sense you need as a whole person: body, mind, and spirit. I frame my work in psychodynamic theory, while using cognitive-behavioral and experiential techniques. I infuse all sessions with the principles of mindfulness. I can help you organize your thoughts on difficult decisions, coach you to be more assertive, and help you establish better boundaries. I will teach you a variety of coping skills for managing stress.
I specialize in anxiety (obsessive thoughts and behaviors, phobias, panic attacks, nightmares, post-traumatic stress), depression, chronic pain / illness, and relationship problems. I use EMDR and other alternative body-oriented techniques for when talk therapy isn't enough for releasing stuck patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
I also specialize in recovery from unhealthy/abusive religious experiences. My diverse experiences practicing the Christian faith can be useful if you are Christian or were raised with a Christian worldview and want to explore what that means for you now. Those of other faiths are also welcome.

Ellen Ronka's Groups
Minding-the-Body Healing Group
NOT a support group to help you cope with chronic pain/fatigue/illness. Uses a mind-body approach to give you the knowledge and skills to HEAL your symptoms. Based on the most current research on pain science. Using a biopsychosocial model, leveraging the power of neuroplasticity to train your brain out of your symptoms. Your pain is real, but the solution is not where you've been looking. If you've done all the tests and tried everything conventional medicine suggests, see my website and call me for a free consult to talk about how it might help you.
