Great to meet you!

I am Dr. Michelle Ellis and I am so excited that you've come to visit my profile. I hold licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (PA), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL), and I am recognized as a NBCC Board Certified Counselor.


I believe authentic connections are the cornerstone of healing. Thus, I actively incorporate multicultural perspectives into therapeutic settings, with a particular emphasis on addressing the unique needs of racially diverse individuals, couples, and families.

My approach to therapy

Through a humanistic approach, our sessions address you as a whole person. Embracing your uniqueness, your personal awareness and reflection will be valued and welcomed. In a safe space, I offer trauma-informed care, ensuring we avoid triggering past traumas. Together, we'll foster security, support, and empowerment, while acknowledging and appreciating our differences.

What you can expect from me

I understand that there are times when our goals are just out of reach and I aim to help clients reach objectives they previously struggled to achieve on their own.


My focus is on helping individuals, couples, families, and groups enhance their self-awareness and cultivate effective strategies to address their past, navigate their present, and plan for their future.
