Getting to know Ellen Scherr

Life always throws us curveballs. You can do everything to set yourself up to thrive, but life happens. The key to making it through life's obstacles isn't by fighting or avoiding them. It's about learning to build resilience. By resilient, I mean having the right coping tools and skills to help yourself on the days you are struggling. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from National Louis University and have over 15 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and men and women experiencing depression, anxiety, childhood emotional abuse, substance abuse, grief, loss, and family dynamic issues. I am a board-certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon.

What should a new client know about working with you?

"Like everyone else, I have struggled in trying to be happy. It has taken me a long time to learn how to make my own happiness, and figure out how to maintain a healthy mindset. The process was difficult, and I faced many “highs and lows.” My approach is based on your life issues and the support you’re seeking from therapy. My goal in each session is to provide you with ""real-life skills"" to use. "

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
