Dr. Carly Ellman

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I’m Dr. Carly Ellman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and sports social worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and athletes across a wide range of life transitions.

My therapy style is warm, honest, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to help you build clarity, confidence, and tools that support your wellbeing both inside and outside the therapy room.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, sport-related stress, or a desire for deeper self-understanding, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental place to explore and grow.

My background includes clinical practice, college teaching, and working directly with youth, parents, and coaches to strengthen mental health, resilience, and relationships through evidence-based approaches.

I’ve also earned a Sports Social Work Certificate and serve on the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee Mental Health Registry, where I work with athletes navigating performance pressure, identity, anxiety, and stress.

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Philadelphia

Searching for therapists in Philadelphia starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs. Across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, West Philly, and Northeast Philadelphia, therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want support with. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or strength-based care.

Philadelphia has many therapists, which can make the search feel harder to narrow. Practical details matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person therapy near work, home, campus, or a transit route, or virtual therapy that fits your schedule from home. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. Reading profiles closely can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect in the first appointment.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Philadelphia therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review bios and schedule directly when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
