Dr. Lauren Ellis

My ideal client is someone who’s ready for change, even if they’re not sure where to begin. If you’re working through internal struggles or you're a couple that is striving to reconnect, my role is to help you uncover the insight, resilience, and skills that are already within you. If you're feeling overwhelmed, weighed down or afraid, I can help. If you're navigating a major life change, struggling with addiction, or facing tough challenges in your relationships, you are not alone and a skilled therapist can help you find a path forward.

As a licensed psychologist with over 12 years of private practice experience, I bring a collaborative, supportive, and change-oriented approach to therapy. My background includes specialized work in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and couples counseling.

Therapy with me is about making meaningful, lasting changes. You'll learn to better understand yourself, communicate more effectively, and respond to challenges in new ways. Clients often leave our work together feeling clearer, more empowered, and more at peace with themselves and others.

I use a mixture of therapeutic modalities. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
