Amy Ellowitz

Therapist

In-person • <1 mi away • Fort Lauderdale, FL


My name is Amy Lee Ellowitz and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with individuals navigating major life transitions who struggle with feeling overwhelmed by loss, relationship changes, identity shifts, and other "lifequakes" that shake their foundation.

I help by blending evidence-based therapeutic methods with genuine understanding drawn from my own experiences with transformation, creating a safe space where you remain in the driver's seat while building resilience and rediscovering your authentic self. In our first few sessions, you can expect a compassionate, affirming environment where your story is honored, your pace is respected, and we begin processing your experiences while establishing the foundation for meaningful growth. My practice is unique because I bring personal understanding of life's major disruptions and view challenges as opportunities for transformation rather than defining moments, always honoring your unique identity and journey. I am passionate about this work because your story matters deeply to me, and I believe lifequakes can become the foundation for renewed purpose—you don't have to navigate these changes alone, and witnessing your resilience and growth is deeply meaningful.

My clients arrive feeling overwhelmed by major life disruptions. They're questioning who they are, feeling isolated, and struggling with anxiety or grief. They want to rediscover themselves, build resilience, and transform their pain into meaningful growth with compassionate support.

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed mental health therapist who works with adults navigating the messy, overwhelming, and deeply human parts of life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in the connection between the mind and body. I integrate evidence-based practices with Brainspotting and nervous system-focused work to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.

I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and attachment wounds, mood-related challenges, low self-esteem, perfectionism, parental stress, workplace burnout, and major life transitions. I also have a passion for helping women reconnect with themselves through different seasons of life.

My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered — not just in sessions, but in your everyday life. Therapy with me is a space where you can show up fully as yourself while we work toward healing, insight, and lasting growth together.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Finding the right therapist in Fort Lauderdale starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider — such as an LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist — who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Reading a provider's bio before booking helps you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

With a large and diverse provider community across Broward County, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you: a specific specialty or therapy style, virtual or in-person sessions, evening or weekend availability, or a provider who speaks your language. A free phone consultation can also help you get a sense of fit before committing to a session.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
