Carrie Ellis
L.M.H.C & PCIT CERTIFIED
Change takes courage and intention. If you are ready to take that first step, I am here to support, encourage, and walk alongside you. I have experience helping people with parenting struggles, depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship issues, motivation, and self-esteem. I am an adoption-competent therapist trained in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. My approach combines person-centered and attachment-based approaches as well as cognitive, mindfulness, internal family systems, and dialectal behavioral models of therapy. I will work together with you to create a plan to meet your goals and specific needs.
