Ellen Daniels

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


First let me say I went into therapy after a lot of my own problems in life and I wanted to understand why I struggled so much. Currently I specialize in relationship counseling, PTSD, anxiety, and grief/loss. Everyone's mind is shaped by their experiences, environment, personality, and a variety of other factors. I recently retired from the VA after 17 years of working with veterans and their struggles. There rest of the time I was in community care working with individuals and families. I understand that it can be hard to ask for help but the most resilient people I know have been the ones that want to keep discovering what is underneath the surface. It's not easy to figure it out yourself. That's why I do what I do! I love to help people unlock the mysteries in their heads. I would welcome the opportunity to get to know you if you think we would be a good fit. I DO NOT JUDGE..that is not my job nor my nature. My job is to uplift and assist you in finding your way to an improved quality of life.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Fort Wayne

Finding couples therapists in Fort Wayne starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy can support concerns like communication breakdowns, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for credentials or approaches that match your needs. Licensed marriage and family therapists, therapists trained in the Gottman Method, and therapists who use emotionally focused therapy may be relevant fits for marriage counseling in Fort Wayne.

In a mid-size city like Fort Wayne, your search may include both local offices and virtual appointments across Indiana. In person couples therapy may be a good fit if you prefer meeting in the same room, while virtual sessions can make scheduling easier when two calendars need to align. As you compare therapists in Fort Wayne, Indiana, check whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for both partners, and provide a brief consultation before the first session. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate with couples, and approach relationship counseling in Fort Wayne.

Couples therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who offer couples therapy, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and have available appointments. You can compare profiles, review estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
