Ellen Codere, LMSW
About me
As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience in Michigan, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
I offer compassionate, personalized support for adults facing diverse issues including stress management, communication difficulties, social anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal struggles. My approach centers on understanding each person's unique journey, empowering them to develop healthier coping strategies and deeper self-understanding.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I work collaboratively with clients to address a wide range of concerns—from workplace stress and family dynamics to personal identity, self-esteem, and emotional healing. My goal is to create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move towards meaningful personal transformation.
