Hey, I’m Ella.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Certified Hypnotherapist (CHt) based in Mason, Ohio. My mission is to plant seeds in others that will foster personal growth in order to achieve optimal wellness and success.

Let's connect 🌿

My Approach

Collaborative

YOU are the expert on YOURSELF. Treatment is collaborative because you will be in charge of your goals while I provide interventions and support along the way. In order to assist you in achieving your personal goals, I will employee an eclectic-mix of modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, psychodynamic therapy, hypnotherapy and play therapy.

Playful

Children, teenagers, adults, seniors… we all need to play! I meet you at whatever stage of life you are in and bring forth elements of humor, relatability and fun. I aim to deliver interventions that feel less like homework and more like psychological mining. Digging in can be uncomfortable but there is gold to be found within you.

Compassionate

As someone really smart and cool (Theodore Roosevelt) once said, “No one cares about how much you know until they know how much you care”. As my client, I want you to feel that sentiment deeply during our time together. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust and connectivity. It is the most powerful healing aspect of treatment and allows for empirically-based interventions to truly take root.

Therapy Services

These one-on-one sessions are completely focused on your specific needs in the here-and-now. Individual therapy is what you might typically think of when you hear “talk therapy” or “psychotherapy”. During individual therapy, we will pick apart presenting issues while utilizing your intrinsic strengths to propel you to where you want to be. This is your time that is 100% dedicated to you.

Individual Therapy

Our family life sets the stage for us in terms of our social relationships. The microcosm of the family is a major indicator of our effectiveness in the macrocosm of society. In addition, we carry our family’s unique strengths and defeating beliefs into our self-concept. I offer family therapy on a supplemental basis (per client, parent or guardian request) in order to assist with individual work. With the right guidance and ability to challenge the systems we’ve grown up in, transformation is within reach!

Family Therapy

Children speak a different language than adults - and that is through play. Play therapy allows for children to express emotional and developmental concerns in a more approachable and applicable manner. During play therapy, I allow children to use figurines, sand trays, drawings and games in order to explore their motives for behaviors and how they may view their world, their relationships and themselves.

Play Therapy

If you’ve ever said, “I know this is not right… I know this is not good for me… I know that I can get through this, but there’s just something in my way”, then let’s talk about how hypnotherapy can help you! Hypnotherapy allows for the critical mind to take a break while the subconscious mind comes alive. Imagine being able to look at deep-seated patterns of behavior and beliefs through a new lens. And the best part… it’s been there with you all along. As your therapist during hypnosis, my goal is to lead you to parts of yourself that have not been fully excavated and cultivate more profound understanding, and maybe even love, for those parts. There is so much to be said about the power of hypnotherapy so please feel free to schedule a consultation call to learn more.
