Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Michael Ellis, LCSW. I have been practicing in the mental health field for over 15 years and have been practicing individual counseling for 8 years. I have always had a passion for helping individuals and families find ways to identify their stressors and develop strategies for alleviating those stressors in a concise and effective approach.

My approach to therapy

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), along with an emphasis in Motivational Interviewing to quickly find effective coping strategies based on your individual needs.

What you can expect from me

I aim to help you work through your thoughts in meaningful ways and to help you identify a few things each session that you want to focus on. My goal is to focus on the areas that you identify as important to you.
