Ellen has been absolutely brilliant so far, and i’ve only had 3 visits! She is so empathetic and very knowledgeable. So so SO greatful for being matched, i’ve never had a great fit with a therapist so I wasn’t able to comfortably make it a consistent routine. Ellen actually makes me excited for my visits. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with people like me!

Ellen is amazing and I’m so glad I was matched with her as my therapist.
She helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I now have more tools/coping skills to get through life’s challenges.
I’ll forever be grateful for her.
