“My experience with Ellen Stein has been 5 stars so far! I am just beginning my journey with therapy and my introductory appointment went well. It was easy to find the office, it was in a quiet location. The office itself was welcoming but not overstimulating. Ellen had wonderful bedside manner and made me feel very comfortable. I appreciated that she had stim toys available, it makes it so much easier to focus and chat when my hands are occupied. I was surprised at how much we accomplished in our first appt. We chatted a bit about my history and set up a plan for moving forward. I'm looking forward to going on this journey with Ellen. ”

Getting to know Ellen Stein
My approach to therapy is collaborative, creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore, understand, and process their emotions and experiences. I work with individuals aged 18 and older, focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also have a special interest in addressing self-esteem issues and women's issues. Together, we work to identify and change patterns in relationships, behavior, and thought that are no longer serving them.
I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These approaches help clients develop healthier coping strategies for managing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and the challenges that come with life transitions. My goal is to support individuals in navigating life's ups and downs with self-compassion, courage, and openness, empowering them to create lasting change and find greater fulfillment in their lives and relationships.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Houston, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to provide compassionate and effective care.
