Ellen Stephenson

My communication style

I'm direct and collaborative, working with you to challenge negative self-beliefs and process uncomfortable thoughts to achieve your full potential. With couples and families, I use cognitive and family approaches to help members identify and work through challenges together as a group.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been the listener and helper in my life. Having navigated my own struggles, I wanted to be the person I could have benefited from during times of transition or unease. My goal is to meet you at your starting point and provide a warm, encouraging space to discuss and challenge what's holding you back.

My goals for you

From our first session, we collaborate to identify why you're pursuing therapy and establish clear objectives. I frequently revisit these goals so we maintain an open conversation about progress and can adjust as we gain insight or achieve initial milestones.

Our first session

During our initial visit, I gather background information about what's bringing you to therapy. Whether this is your first time or you're seeking a new perspective, you can expect me to be open and collaborative in setting and conceptualizing your goals together.
