Hey there! We might be a good fit . . . if you understand that life comes with challenges AND we ALL have a story! I truly enjoy introducing my clients to the universal assignment of inner work, lessons, and personal growth. Are you effectively managing your personal narrative? We often experience stagnation and victimhood when we FEEL stuck, get distracted or obsessively worry. But that's life, right? It happens from time to time. My Practice is Available For New Clients for Mental Health Therapy and Medication Management with a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner!

You already have what you need within yourself to experience fulfillment in your life. Unfortunately, there are many internal and external influences that can prevent this resulting in a feeling of falling short of who you should be. This can lead to a sense of being out of balance, feeling stuck and many of the symptoms that bring you to therapy. I believe that the most important task is to make meaning of your life by increasing awareness of your experience resulting in a new understanding and a feeling of peace and of being at home in your skin.

Do you feel like your life is on a constant cycle of wake up, do the things, go to bed, repeat? Has this left you feeling like you aren't really living your life to the fullest? Do you worry that there is something that you are missing about how to really feel alive? Have you felt like you are "just going through the motions"? Have you tried counseling before and did not feel like it was as helpful as you hoped it would be? I understand. I see mental health differently. I want to help people feel like they are really living their lives to their fullest potential, not just solving some symptoms.

You thought that you were going to have a great marriage, but so far that hasn't been working out. You hate the idea of divorce, but also hate the idea of coming home from work and having a big fight, so maybe you just avoid each other in order to keep the peace. You've perfected how to go through the motions with your friends and family, but behind closed doors, the two of you can hardly look each other in the eye. Or maybe you are struggling with a job you don't like, being too busy and stressed out all the time, or feeling stuck in a life you know should be better. You were created to live a dynamic life, and this isn't it.

It can be so painful when old limiting patterns keep us from experiencing the life we want. The question arises: what keeps these patterns locked in place despite our best efforts to change them? Most often it turns out there are hidden parts of us actively thwarting our efforts to change because of old outdated notions about what keeps us safe in the world. Trying to white-knuckle our way past this inner opposition may be tempting, but tends not to work in the long run. Paradoxically, the real solution lies in befriending these parts who are seemingly hell-bent on maintaining an unwanted status quo.

I value the unique experiences and narratives that an individual brings to their therapeutic process and celebrate the willingness to lean into the often-difficult work that therapy can elicit. It is my hope that the therapeutic process will illuminate the patterns and events that can and have created conflict and stress; and inhibit one’s feeling of wellbeing.

My name is Ellen Eberhardt and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). For 16 years I have been a therapist. I provide a non-judgement and safe place to heal and grow as each client is unique.

Chronic stress, life changes, loss, trauma, illness, or relational problems can cause coping difficulties that impact quality of life. Although time alone can sometimes help, meaningful resolution of the problems and real growth takes place within the context of a supportive relationship. It is within a nurturing relationship that individuals heal and grow.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that works with individuals, couples and families by integrating a cognitive-behavioral and family systems approach. I provide a warm, safe, supportive environment, and my therapeutic style is respectful, collaborative and solution-focused.

Do you find yourself lying awake at night, unable to stop your thoughts? Do you constantly worry about the future or if people really like you? Maybe you consistently second guess everything you say or do, certain that you’ve somehow messed up? Are you able to see all the possible catastrophes, and pay little attention to possible positive outcomes? Are you certain that if you were just a tad closer to perfect, everything would be better? You aren’t alone! Over 31% of adults and adolescents experience anxiety disorders in their lives. It doesn’t have to interfere with your life though.

Trust that gut instinct that’s telling you something has to change and that healing is attainable. You don't have to fix yourself, figure it all out, or change on your own. If you've found yourself constantly pushing forward only to find that anxiety, exhaustion, depression, or loneliness persist and you have yet to find a relationship, substance, life change, or feeling of control that can make it better in any lasting way- it's time to for things to get better. Whether you are struggling with general fatigue from the state of our world or your past experiences have completely caught up to you, I’m here to help.

Nearly everyone, at some point in their lives, experiences feelings of depression, anxiety, or simply feeling stuck. Whether these feelings are the result of childhood experiences or current circumstances, meaningful change can come from counseling. I believe everyone can benefit from counseling, whether you're struggling with intense emotions that you don't know how to handle, or are simply struggling with making a life decision.

I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for couples work where we focus on identifying and de-escalating negative cycles, rebuilding trust and emotional safety, and restructuring patterns toward connection, closeness, and a deeper intimacy.

Life, relationships, even moments, can be hard. It is often difficult to talk about what is going on inside, to find footing when it seems your life is crumbling. I will hold space for you, all yours, a hard thing to find in real life, and provide an opportunity for you to connect more deeply with yourself, heal and recover. We will work collaboratively to develop a healthier, happier you. This creates a natural domino effect into your life. You will learn skills, insight, see the negative dynamics that effect you consciously and unconsciously. This allows you to change, to integrate all the hurt pieces of you into a healthy whole.
