Carol Ellinger

My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, and straightforward. I strive to balance clarity with sincerity and kindness, offering honest feedback in a respectful and supportive way. I approach each person believing that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and valued. We all need a safe space to facilitate healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a provider began with a desire to help others navigate life's challenges and discover their own strengths. I developed a deep appreciation for the resilience people demonstrate in the face of adversity. As a Stage 3 cancer survivor, I bring my own experience with resiliency to the table.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and understanding. Goals should be set by the client. What is important to you? Together, we identify meaningful goals, explore barriers that may be getting in the way, and develop practical strategies for growth and lasting change.

Our first session

My initial sessions typically include getting to know you, including finding out about what you would like from our therapy sessions, as well as developing a genogram (a map of your family system). I am there to listen and to learn about you.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
