Dr. Lauren Ellis

I am a member of a prestigious group of therapists at NY Mental Health Center. We understand that it takes courage to speak with a therapist, but the potential rewards outweigh the risk of opening up. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, mood disorders, relationship problems, addictions, trauma, and coping with disease, among other concerns. I work with each patient to create a strong relationship and I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for open communication.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, positive, empathetic, and respectful. Using the metaphor of "life is a journey," I see my role as walking the road with you for a time. You are the expert on your life, but I can help you uncover some of the areas where you have become "stuck," thereby beginning the process of change.

You should expect to learn new ways of understanding yourself and interacting with the important people in your life. You will find your voice, and use it in new and effective ways.
