“I feel that if I had not been placed with Ellen, I might not have been able to commit to therapy. She is everything that a patient could hope for in a provider. She is so inspiring and I look forward to how much hope I get from each of our sessions. Her demeanor, kindness, empathy make it almost easy to share the heavy matters that weigh on the mind. She also demonstrates an incredible knowledge of her skill which gives me a feeling of true safety. I feel that I can trust her completely with my care. We truly need more like her.”
