Healing Arts Collaborative is a community-driven therapy and healing arts practice committed to providing safe, affirming, and culturally responsive healthcare for our 2SLGBTQI+ community.
HAC provides care that is liberation-centered and trauma-informed, using anti-oppressive wellness frameworks. We are actively anti-racist, anti-ableist, queer- & gender-celebratory, sex-positive, fat positive, and abolitionist.
Through individual, relationship, family, and group therapy, we work together with our clients to challenge oppressive systems and embody our innate power. We look forward to hearing from you!

I go by Ellis, and I am autistic, disabled, queer, and agender. <3 I believe you are the expert of your own experience, possessing inherent worth and galactic inner landscapes that deserve to be seen and celebrated. I enjoy working with clients who want to carve a fulfilling, value-led path outside of neuro-normativity and all systems of oppression. We may be a good fit if you are someone who feels at great depths and grapples with existential grief. Perhaps you're creative, autistic, AuDHD, 2e/3e, an OCDer, chronically ill, or LGBTQIA+ (ace/aro/trans/nb/enm)? Perhaps you are a pretty neat human? I'm honored to be here with you. :)

I enjoy working with neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and families, including those with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other disabilities. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or struggling with emotional regulation, relationships, school, or daily life demands. Together, we create a neuroaffirming space where clients can better understand themselves, build on their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and find approaches that honor the way their brains naturally work.

I’m here to provide a validating and supportive place for you to create lasting change in your life. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and use an eclectic approach to bring different tools into our work together.

I believe in meeting you exactly where you are. Guided by a commitment to collaboration, I seek to accompany clients as they forge and discover their own path toward healing. I aim to be fully present with clients as we explore their emotions, experiences, truths, hopes, challenges, and strengths, with the aim of helping people build a life they truly desire. I support children, teens, young adults and their families in areas related to complex trauma, neurodivergence, identity and more. I seek to hold intentional space for processing intersecting experiences of oppression and privilege impacting clients’ lives.
