Navigating the world is tough enough, but when you add being Neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, a single parent, a minority, or any number of marginalized identities on top of it the weight can appear unbearable. The effect our individual identities can have on our home life, job, social life, and our very sense of self can make dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting struggles, or engaging in self-care seem like a daunting task. We all strive for whole wellness but that looks different for everybody. The whole wellness you desire is not out of reach.

I have a passion for supporting children and families in addressing trauma as early in life as possible, including working with young mothers and their infants, and at the source, which in some cases is imprinted in intergenerational practices and narratives. I also help adults identify childhood trauma causing them to feel stuck and struggle in their relationships and attachments. I enjoy coaching parents and caregivers to develop and enhance the emotional connection with their children. I support people in reducing distress and improving relationships by improving interpersonal skills and social functioning.

As a couple and family therapist, I'm passionate about helping people address all types of relational problems. These can look different for different people, but they include anything that negatively impacts you or how you interact with the people in your life. I believe the stories we tell ourselves have a very powerful impact on our lives and how we see the world. Many times, those stories end up holding us back in some way. I guide the therapy process as you change those narratives to be more in line with the life you want to live. My goal is to help people create a life where they feel empowered, courageous, and authentic.

Hi there! My name is Amberly Ellis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. I approach counseling from an integrative, attachment-based, and interpersonal neurobiology lens, recognizing the link between behavior, the nervous system, and interpersonal connection. I believe the behaviors children and teens display are merely their way of communicating a need - a need to connect, a need to be known, a need to be heard, and a need for felt safety. It is my goal to not just help my clients “fix the problem,” but to help build understanding, connection, and a victorious mind.
