I started speaking with Ellen 9 months ago and at the time I was very depressed and struggling with low self-esteem. I had recently ended a long-term relationship and I was having issues with family members. Since working together I’ve began to have a more positive outlook on life, and I feel like we have worked through so many issues in different ways. Ellen is honest caring respectful and when appropriate adds her sense of humour which I am grateful for. She is an amazing therapist and I enjoy every session with her. Thank you for everything that you’ve helped me with and the guidance you’ve offered.

Working with Ellen has been so, for lack of a better word, therapeutic. She listens well but she isn't just a sounding board; she is incredibly insightful and has a knack for asking the right questions at the right moment. She challenges me and pushes me to grow but it always feels like she's on my side. Most importantly, I feel like I'm making progress through working with her.

Her style, with me, has been largely conversational. We laugh often but I've cried too. No matter how our conversations go, I feel safe, supported and respected.

Over the years I have attempted therapy several times and have found it difficult to relate to the doctors or counselors I have been assigned. Ellen is a breath of fresh air. She has a fun and honest approach to therapy. One of the things I enjoy about her the most is that she responds compassionately, while simultaneously holding me accountable. I love her approach to CBT, which makes it less daunting. She is truly a lovely person and deeply cares for her clients. I wish her all the best.
