Our ideal clients are everyday people navigating those seasons of life that just get a little hard. Adults, teens, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges — people who deserve real support, not a two-year waitlist. We accept most major insurances, because cost shouldn't stand between you and feeling better. Our warm, licensed clinicians meet you where you are — in person or via telehealth — without judgment and with a real plan. New clients welcome. Ellie is becoming known for exceptional care and service, and honestly? We're just getting started.
Our Team
At Ellie Mental Health, we’re reimagining what mental health care can feel like—compassionate, welcoming, and truly human. We know opening up to someone new can be intimidating, so we focus on creating an environment that feels safe, approachable, and supportive from your very first visit. This is a space where you can talk openly, decompress, do meaningful work, and heal at your own pace. Founded on the belief that mental health care should be stigma-free and accessible, Ellie is committed to breaking down barriers and delivering high-quality care that meets our community where they are.

If you're lying awake at night replaying conversations, worrying about the future, or wondering why everything feels harder than it should, this may be for you. Many of the people who reach out to me say some version of the same thing: “I know I should be able to handle this, but I feel overwhelmed.” Maybe you're navigating a chronic illness, adjusting to a major life change, managing the stress of military life, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. No matter what brought you here, you're ready for things to feel different, even if you're not sure where to start.

My ideal client is someone who is curious about themselves; wanting to understand the
deeper reason behind their emotions, reactions and patterns. Maybe you’ve started to
notice things you can’t quite explain: feelings that show up bigger than expected,
behaviors that don’t make sense, or a brain that doesn’t always seem to cooperate. That
curiosity, even if paired with uncertainty towards therapy, is a powerful first step. Your
willingness to explore what is happening beneath the surface becomes the foundation
for meaningful growth.

Reaching out to start counseling shows so much courage! My ideal client is someone who is experiencing a struggle or challenge and is willing to put in the work to try to make a positive change. Understanding how our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviors is helpful when navigating our mental health and our relationships. Sometimes we may use
psychoeducation to give you a better understanding of what is happening in your brain
and/or body. Then we can learn new ways to reframe unhealthy thought patterns which
may improve your mood and interactions with others.
