Adrienne Ellis, LCPC — Therapist in Maryland

Hi there, I'm Adrienne!

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I utilize evidence-based interventions to help clients manage symptoms, build healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change.

My focus

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and life transitions. Whether you're experiencing persistent emotional struggles, adjusting to major challenges, or seeking greater clarity and stability, I provide a supportive space to process these challenges and develop tools for growth.

My approach

My approach is integrative, practical, and client-centered. I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and develop skills for lasting change. I focus on solutions and the progress clients can achieve in the present moment.

My communication style

My communication style is direct yet sensitive. I believe in being clear and honest while maintaining compassion and respect for your experiences. You can expect open dialogue, thoughtful listening, and constructive insights that promote growth without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My decision to enter counseling was deeply personal. After experiencing significant challenges within my own family and the loss of my father, I felt called to help others navigating difficult seasons. These experiences gave me deeper empathy and a strong sense of purpose in walking alongside individuals on their path toward healing.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is most effective when it's collaborative. Together, we'll identify clear goals that reflect your unique needs and priorities. At times, I may ask you to practice strategies outside of sessions to reinforce what we discuss and support progress between appointments.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know each other and helping you feel comfortable. We'll build rapport and talk about what brought you to therapy. I'll invite you to share your reasons for seeking support and a bit of your background so I can better understand your experiences and perspective.
