Steady, relationship-based therapy for adults navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions and trauma histories. Many of my clients appear capable on the outside but feel stuck or unsettled within. We begin with what feels most pressing and gradually explore the deeper patterns shaping your life, supporting lasting change.
I’m Michele Ellis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. With over a decade of experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the social, emotional, and psychological challenges people face. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs—meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and create a path toward meaningful, lasting change.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed mental health professional and clinical supervisor with more than 18 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. I provide telehealth services to clients in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia.
My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I believe that each person brings unique strengths, abilities, and experiences to their journey, and I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and collaborative space where you can feel heard and understood.
My goal is to work alongside you to navigate challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to support your mental health and overall well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater health and wellness.
Currently accepting new clients.
I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.
I received my MS in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY Queens College and am currently working toward obtaining my BSN and MSN as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I have years of experience working with teens and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation from my time as a crisis counselor in Long Island's most eminent crisis center, and as a clinician in one of New York State's largest clinics.
