More about Ellen

  • 28 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York with over 25 years of experience working as a therapist with an emphasis on Christian counseling. I have worked with clients having a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues and PTSD. I have worked with a diverse population of all ages. I have helped the people who have taken that extra step and sought assistance with life's trials by listening and allowing the individual themselves to work towards their goals with the support that is needed.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is client centered, solution focused, and Christian based. I practice active listening with treatment focused on specific needs

The courage it takes to reach out for help is just the first step on a journey towards the changes necessary to have a fulfilling and contented life.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’m approaching 2 years working with Ellen and it’s been super helpful. She is kind, a good listener and offers great suggestions. She’s soft spoken with confident delivery. She’s like a warm cup of tea when you need comfort☺️ I started shortly after my mother passed away too soon. She was 63 and I was just 40. We also discuss my marriage, managing work and 2 kids (middle school and elementary ages). She’s a great resource. Thanks Ellen!!!
