meet ELLEN

 

Hello! I'm Ellen, a licensed mental health clinician and certified energy practitioner offering support to adults in Columbus, Ohio. I’m biracial-Black, and use she/her pronouns. While my practice is grounded in over a decade of clinical and community experience, I’m also very much a human who knows what it’s like to navigate healing.

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 offer a space where you feel seen and supported in discovering your authentic self. My work supports those wanting to get free from the trauma of the past and grow.

I love working with fellow dreamers, leaders, care/service workers, therapists, organizers, and creatives ready to reconnect with themselves and others. In my therapeutic work, EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Mindfulness are methodologies I primarily work with. We'll also explore plenty of relaxation techniques and invite play through art, nature, and drawing as desired.

Personal challenges often stem from a variety of factors including physical, social, familial, political, and cultural systems. Rather than focusing on the notion of needing to be "fixed," let's explore and acknowledge the intricate systems and dynamics that have influenced your current experience. My approach is non-pathologizing; I want to understand your experience as opposed to labeling you.
