Ellyn Stangarone

My communication style

My style is calm and personable. I create a judgment-free environment where you can share what's on your heart and feel truly heard. I listen without judgment and look for positives even in difficult moments. I want to build a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after being a client myself and experiencing both wonderful and not-so-wonderful therapists. I wanted to give back to the community that helped me grow. I believe deeply in the mission and process of therapy. Seeing that a-ha moment for a client makes every step of this journey worthwhile.

My goals for you

I let you take the lead on what's most important and how we define your goals. Building rapport and trust is often the first step. Together, we'll identify treatment goals and track progress collaboratively. I want you to feel supported throughout the entire goal-setting and treatment process.

Our first session

I use the first session to build our therapeutic relationship and understand how I can best support you. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, how you've been feeling, what you hope to gain, and any questions or concerns. I'm here to listen and help guide your journey toward your goals.
