Ellen Anderson, PhD, LPCC-S, is a dedicated counselor specializing in trauma and PTSD, with extensive experience working with teens, adults, and elders. Many individuals seeking her help often feel overwhelmed and out of control due to deep emotional wounds and traumatic experiences. Ellen is committed to guiding her clients through the complexities of healing, addressing issues such as broken trust and self-loathing that influence their perceptions of the world and themselves. Through her compassionate approach, she emphasizes that healing is a challenging but rewarding journey that need not be undertaken alone. Ellen utilizes a trauma-informed model and employs EMDR, along with mindfulness-based therapies, somatic techniques, and family systems therapy, to promote lasting emotional change. Her clients often include those battling PTSD, substance abuse, depression, and anxiety, and she believes in treating the root causes rather than merely the symptoms. As a practicing Christian, Ellen provides a nurturing environment for spiritual exploration while also prioritizing psychotherapy for those who may not identify with religious beliefs. Her practice embodies love and kindness, ensuring that every client is treated with respect and dignity on their journey toward healing.
