Getting to know Karen Ellis

Hi there, I'm Karen! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience and a Master's in Social Work from Walla Walla University. I am dedicated to helping couples and individuals navigate their journeys through growth and change. My approach I utilize a combination of evidence-based techniques, including mindful CBT, and intuitive insights to tailor sessions to meet the specific needs of individuals and couples. My goal is not just to address symptoms of distress but to empower clients with tools and strategies to build healthier relationships and enhance emotional well-being. My focus I have a particular interest in addressing issues such as infidelity, poor communication, and sexual problems in relationships. These concerns can be addressed with the couple or one partner. I also enjoy working with individuals seeking clarity and meaning in their lives. My communication style My therapy approach is energetic and engaging. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable sharing thoughts and feelings freely. I offer empathy, respect, and a commitment to a safe space for exploration and healing. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began after seeking counseling for marriage difficulties many years ago. I developed a passion for understanding human behavior and fostering meaningful connections. Over the years, I have witnessed therapy's transformative power, inspiring individuals and couples to emerge with renewed hope and deeper understanding. My goals for you I help clients identify goals aligned with their values. Goals should be achievable, though not easy. My first session with you During the first session, I will obtain background information.
