Clients come to me with a struggle: Teens and Adults struggling to cope, Parents struggling to figure out what their child needs, or Couples struggling to make their relationship work. Usually something big has happened, but sometimes, it is a gradual and insidious downhill spiral that gets you to the point where you say, "I need some help."

It is such a joy, gift, and honor to get to work as a child and adolescent counselor.
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.

This allows people to feel more comfortable, and is a more convenient way to get the help needed without the hassle of organizing transportation, childcare, or convincing your loved one to come to an office visit.
I am unable to accept new patients at this time. Are you at a point where you or a loved one has lost hope? With over 27 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, marriages, and families, I've seen many find hope that was previously absent by using a short-term, targeted, and effective approach to counseling. Each therapist has unique strengths. Mine is working through tough problems other therapists don't prefer to treat by seeing clients in their homes rather than in an office. Most people are able to see a significant change within 6 months. Counseling should not last forever and neither should your struggles
