Amy Ellowitz

My name is Amy Lee Ellowitz and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with individuals navigating major life transitions who struggle with feeling overwhelmed by loss, relationship changes, identity shifts, and other "lifequakes" that shake their foundation.

I help by blending evidence-based therapeutic methods with genuine understanding drawn from my own experiences with transformation, creating a safe space where you remain in the driver's seat while building resilience and rediscovering your authentic self. In our first few sessions, you can expect a compassionate, affirming environment where your story is honored, your pace is respected, and we begin processing your experiences while establishing the foundation for meaningful growth. My practice is unique because I bring personal understanding of life's major disruptions and view challenges as opportunities for transformation rather than defining moments, always honoring your unique identity and journey. I am passionate about this work because your story matters deeply to me, and I believe lifequakes can become the foundation for renewed purpose—you don't have to navigate these changes alone, and witnessing your resilience and growth is deeply meaningful.

My clients arrive feeling overwhelmed by major life disruptions. They're questioning who they are, feeling isolated, and struggling with anxiety or grief. They want to rediscover themselves, build resilience, and transform their pain into meaningful growth with compassionate support.

My approach is grounded in a strength-based framework that operates on the principle “You’re not broken, you’ve lost connection with yourself and what matters to you.” I empower my clients rather than pathologizing their experiences. My additional certifications in Holistic Wellness and Integrative Nutrition enable me to take a comprehensive view of client wellbeing that extends beyond traditional talk therapy.

I provide a non-judgmental, empowering, and supportive therapeutic environment, incorporating appropriate humor when suitable. I utilize an integrative approach that combines multiple therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. My treatment approach also incorporates coaching, family/marital therapy, family systems, motivational interviewing, relational therapy, and strength-based methods.
