Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Ellyse. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with over 5 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Cleveland State University, my journey in mental health has been driven by a deep passion for supporting individuals in their unique paths to to healing and growth

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic philosophy centers on meeting you exactly where you are and walking alongside you as you work towards your goals. I believe in creating a nonjudgmental and welcoming space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions. Whether you're dealing with trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or the challenges of childhood experiences, I am here to help

What you can expect from me

Working with me is a collaborative journey where your voice is heard, and your experiences are validated. Together, we will build on your strengths and develop strategies to overcome the challenges you face. The first session is an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to create a plan for you! In the sessions that follow, we’ll collaborate to make these goals a reality for you.
