Dr. Melissa Ellsworth

I'm a queer and neurodivergent clinical psychologist that specializes in helping individuals with issues related to mind-body connections, including chronic pain, sexual challenges and gender incongruence. I also help folx with experiences that can exacerbate these challenges, including developmental & relational trauma, faith transitions, identity + role conflicts.

My main approach to therapy is Internal Family Systems (IFS), as well as incorporate attachment theory, polyvagal and other somatic therapies, neuroscience, mindfulness and self-compassion. I am also trained in CBT, DBT and ACT and a incorporate skills from CBT, DBT and ACT where appropriate.

Clients can expect me to help them achieve the goals they set out for therapy using an affirming, integrative and person-centered approach.
