Getting to know Vickie Ellis

Hi there, I'm Vickie! Are you looking for help to make a change in your life? I have 17+ years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with issues related to trauma/PTSD, intimate partner abuse, sexual trauma, anxiety/depression, grief and loss, and anger management. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, nonjudgemental space to allow for growth. My focus Struggling with anxious thoughts or self-doubt? I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Together, we’ll build coping skills and create a personalized plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. My approach I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts. My approach is practical and collaborative, giving you tools to feel more in control. I may also incorporate mindfulness or other techniques to support your unique goals and progress. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space to allow for increase in insight, growth and develop appropriate coping strategies. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. Working with trauma survivors showed me the power of therapy in healing. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change. My goals for you I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.
