Ellie is a therapist in Vancouver, WA who works with individuals, couples, families, and organizations. Like M. Scott Peck, she believes that “Mental health is an ongoing dedication to reality at all costs.” This shows up in her practice as a very direct but compassionate presence ready and willing to walk with you through whatever is feeling out of balance in your life.
As an existential therapist first and foremost—meaning matters. But sessions will integrate cognitive behavioral techniques along with emotion-focused and relational methods in order to help her clients achieve mental clarity, strategize with existing strengths they have, and repair relationship ruptures. In working with couples, the goal is to help hurting people to reconnect, communicate and trust each other again. At the end of the day, journeying through this life can be extremely hard. And finding the right therapist for you can help lighten the load just a bit.
I work with individuals, couples and families and am a certified FOCCUS facilitator for pre-marital counseling as well.
