Kendon Ellerman

I work with adults and older adults who are navigating anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, substance use and recovery, family concerns, major life transitions, and maternal or end-of-life issues. With 11 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a warm, practical approach to therapy and create a space where you can be open and honest without feeling judged.

I believe you deserve to feel heard and understood while also having support that helps you make real changes in your life. Whether you're working through something that has been weighing on you for years or trying to adjust to a recent change, we can work together to better understand what you're experiencing and find a path forward.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. You know your life best, and my role is to listen, understand what you are experiencing, and help you identify realistic steps toward the changes you want to make. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, stress, unhealthy coping, or emotional distress and develop more effective ways of responding. Together, we can explore the experiences behind what you're facing while building practical skills for coping, communication, emotional regulation, and resilience. Your goals will guide our work, and we will adjust our approach as your needs change.

Our first session is an opportunity to slow down, get to know each other, and talk openly about what brings you to therapy. You can expect a warm, supportive environment where you feel heard rather than judged or rushed. We will discuss your current concerns, important experiences that have shaped you, and what you hope to gain from therapy. From there, we can begin identifying meaningful goals and creating a plan that feels realistic for your life. Whether you're working through anxiety, grief, trauma, recovery, family stress, or a major transition, I want you to leave our sessions feeling supported and with a clearer understanding of your next steps. Therapy is a process, and we will work together at a pace that feels comfortable and productive for you.
