Many people take better care of their vehicles than we do themselves. If your vehicle starts showing signs of breaking down, you will find some help. But how many of us will ignore the warning signs of depression, anxiety, family conflict, addiction, or suicidal thoughts? If we could write our own scripts, none of us would deal with debt, death, infertility, miscarriages, grief, job loss, chronic pain, toxic stress, infidelity, PTSD, obsessive thoughts, or issues related to social media. But you can write a script for recovery! Just call me. I’ll journey with you. I’ll help you find your way back to a more whole, healthy, you.

Most of my clients present with stress and depression either from grief or issues related to identity. These problems typically affect the way they are moving through the world, their relationships, their life satisfaction, and their understanding of themselves. My clients are typically searching for answers and understanding. They want to be able to live their lives instead of being trapped by trying to survive.

I offer support with divorce care, single parents, empty nest syndrome, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, cancer and illness support, including surgical and medical loss, as well as major life transitions.
There are certain things that you can expect to happen each year, but there are also things that happen that we didn’t expect or see coming at all - things we didn’t plan for. Life can sometimes feel intense and fast-moving, and we can quickly find ourselves off balance, without support. This can affect your mental health and well-being. I help clients experience peace, hope, motivation, self-love, practice boundary setting, enhance communication, and build resilience. You are worth good things! Feel seen and heard during a session with me, and make a deposit in your overall quality of life. That's something to get excited about!

I work with children, adolescents, and young adult dealing with a variety of presenting concerns including, anxiety disorders, ADHD, ASD, trauma, adoption, grief, depression, chronic illness, athletic performance, sensory processing disorders, ODD, developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, life transitions, and emotional regulation.
Hi there! My name is Amberly Ellis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. I approach counseling from an integrative, attachment-based, and interpersonal neurobiology lens, recognizing the link between behavior, the nervous system, and interpersonal connection. I believe the behaviors children and teens display are merely their way of communicating a need - a need to connect, a need to be known, a need to be heard, and a need for felt safety. It is my goal to not just help my clients “fix the problem,” but to help build understanding, connection, and a victorious mind.

Being a human is tough. You may be struggling with feeling empty, disconnected, hopeless, or stuck. Maybe you've noticed that the person you are now appears drastically different from the person you used to be or is just not who you want to be going forward. You want life to be more engaging, fulfilling, and enjoyable. Your thoughts and feelings are valid, as is your desire to want more for yourself. I am humbled to walk with you on your journey to your desired life.

I help highly intelligent over-achievers trade anxiety for confidence without feeling like a failure. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being smart, successful, and funnier than a viral meme, life is hard. When they first come in, they feel trapped by their image. They like being thought of as organized and successful, but inside they feel a total fake. When they stop to think about it, they realize they don't even feel like themselves anymore... it's like they've morphed into what other people expect them to be. Their greatest fear is people seeing the real person behind their mask and rejecting them.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
