meet ELLEN
Hello! I'm Ellen, and I'm a licensed clinician who provides individual therapy and flower essence support to adults in Columbus, Ohio. My pronouns are she/her, and I am biracial-Black.
Presence, trust, and empathy are the basic building blocks to creating any healing relationship. In a society that doesn’t always support wellness, isolation, grief, and overstimulation are all too familiar. I aim to provide you with a space to feel seen and supported, where you can open up as your empowered, authentic self. Together in a non-judgmental environment, we’ll explore the parts of you that are stuck to discover your highest potential.
Whether we’re sitting with grief, working towards developing boundaries, or navigating trauma or stress, we’ll explore your inner landscapes in an affirming environment. I have experience guiding clients in managing and alleviating concerns related to grief, anxiety, trauma, depression, interpersonal conflict, psychedelic integration, racial identity, and life transitions.
My approach is non-pathologizing; I want to understand what happened to you and what you’ve experienced, as opposed to labeling you. My training includes a combination of clinical and energetic orientations. I received my master's degree in social work from the University of Kentucky, and my flower essence practitioner certificate from Delta Gardens. I currently pull from a multitude of evidence-based practices including EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also incorporate nervous system regulation strategies, flower essence support, mindfulness, and nature therapy into sessions as desired.
