Ellen Purisch

My communication style

I create a supportive environment in which you feel comfortable discussing your problems and concerns. I am typically very action-oriented and give homework assignments that provide opportunities to develop the cognitive and behavioral skills you need to effect positive changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to this work has been shaped by a commitment to helping people navigate life's challenges with practical tools and compassionate support.

My goals for you

We discuss the types of changes you hope to attain in your emotional state and life functioning. I then help you enact a specific plan and teach you strategies to accomplish these goals. Your progress and the obstacles in reaching your goals are reviewed each session and modified as needed.

Our first session

I will conduct an intake related to current problems and concerns and obtain important personal and historical information. We will identify your goals and expectations of therapy and then begin the therapeutic process, which will include assignments that help you obtain symptom relief and make positive changes.
