Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Ellen Thistle, LCSW. I received my master's degree in Social Work in 2014 and have been working as a therapist with a variety of populations since. I currently work with teens and adults whose lives are impacted by depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, life and family stressors.

My approach to therapy

My approach is tailored to each client depending on their personality and needs. The modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming (EMDR-I), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Somatic Therapy ST)

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to speak to a professional who creates an inviting and non-judgmental environment and listens to their needs. They should expect to receive education about their condition and information about a variety of methods for addressing challenges and creating change.
