Getting to know Kristen Ellis

My name is Kristen Ellis, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working with clients statewide via telehealth. I specialize in anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes, using a variety of modalities. I believe everyone can recover and achieve their goals. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University and have been practicing since then in a variety of settings, including private practice and directing facilities. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each person I work with, and I most frequently use Solution-Focused and Narrative therapies. These approaches help clients build an understanding of their current situation and collaborate to find new ways of living. I have found my style and approach are a good fit for people dealing with life transitions and stressful times. These are common human experiences, and normalizing them can help people develop a better outlook on life and the outcomes of therapy. My communication style is calm, friendly, and open. I want you to feel comfortable sharing with me, and I pride myself on listening without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare began as a teenager when I sought therapy but did not have a great experience. From that day, I wanted to become a therapist so people would not feel judged or isolated while seeking support for their needs. What drives me is seeing people come to new conclusions and outlooks on how life can and will be, with just a little bit of work and dedication to themselves. You are the expert on your goals and dreams. Together, we will approach these goals and the steps to get there collaboratively. I will act as your guide and support you in making incremental changes to achieve what you want.
