Dr. Ellis is the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I liked his approach on showing that there is hope and recovery.

My visits are always enlightening, there's not been 1 time I've been disappointed after seeing him.

Very helpful. Gained valuable insight and problem solving skills.
More than 1 year agoDL
Pretty terrible experience. He preached at me for two sessions and seemed uninterested in hearing from me. I came in with a specific problem to deal with and he wouldn't allow me to discuss it openly. He seemed to have his own agenda and perhaps wanted to stretch out sessions to make more money. He ends sessions very abruptly and starts late each week. His only "advice" at the end of two pointless sessions was "go have some fun, even if you don't want to, because I said so." Really unhelpful and frustrating. Ego centric guy that likes to hear himself talk.

I've enjoyed all of my visits with Mr. Ellis. Where I started versus where I am today with being effective in my day to day life is significantly different. He gave me tools to utilize whenever I need them and I've found them to have a positive influence on my life.

I have been seeing David for about 3 years now, he has consistently been very patient and supportive as a counselor. He knows how to motivate people to be their best selves and teaches valuable coping mechanisms to handle life's many challenges.
