I’m Ellie Costa, a psychotherapist and founder of Saltwater Psychotherapy. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and perinatal mental health concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. Others are navigating pregnancy, postpartum changes, fertility stress, or unresolved birth trauma. These experiences can feel isolating, but effective support can make a meaningful difference.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals process traumatic or distressing experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. In addition to EMDR, I integrate cognitive and insight-oriented approaches to help clients develop practical coping tools.
My style is compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I strive to create a space where clients feel both supported and gently challenged toward growth. Therapy with me is focused on helping you feel more grounded, resilient, and empowered in your daily life. If you’re ready to take the next step, I welcome you to reach out.
