Welcome to Better Help! You've taken a huge step, and I'm sure you're wondering how this works and whether it's the right fit for you. I know I felt the same way when I first came to Better Help too.
My name is Jamie Ellis. I am an LCSW with over 8 years experience in the field of mental health counseling and social work. I received my MSW from Florida State University in 2011. I have a license in AL, GA and NV. I am a southern girl at heart and am living in NV now. My counseling style is a combination of Cognitive Behavorial Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. What that means is that we will talk about what is going on in your life, set some goals that you want to work on and come up with solutions. I have a direct approach in which we focus on the connection between us and the solutions you want to work on. I am firm believer in the power of the counseling experience. Sometimes another person, one who isn't in our immediate circle, can offer a perspective or additional support, that give us movement on a difficult situation when we feel stuck. It would be my privilege to be that person for you.
