Many of my clients have tried therapy in the past and have not experienced the kind of change that they are longing for. That’s where EMDR and DBR come in. These are neurobiologically-based, trauma-informed therapies that transform lives. When deep transformation happens, people find they don’t have to work so hard to “cope” or “manage” symptoms and behavior. Instead, there is a feeling of inner and outer alignment, coherence, and peace.
Individuals
$140/60 minutes
I see my new clients weekly, usually for an hour, while we establish a strong base for therapy to progress. Hourly sessions should have a beginning, middle, and end that helps you transition to whatever is next in your day. Most clients appreciate a combination of talk, somatic, EMDR and/or DBR based on long and short-term needs.
Couples
$250/90 minutes
Sessions for couples are typically 90 minutes. Ellie draws from the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, as well as EMDR and DBR. Couple’s therapy is offered on a limited basis to those who have a strong, loving foundation and want to work through particular issues to maintain the relationship. Common concerns include feeling seen and heard in the relationship, feelings of jealousy and sexual incongruence.
Intensives
Priced individually
Intensives are tailored to specific client needs. Intensive sessions may be longer (up to 3 hours) and more frequent (multiple sessions per week). Intensives are typically chosen to address a specific concern in a consolidated block of time. One key advantage of this approach is that we can allocate more time to processing, without having to open and close difficult material within an hour.
Modalities & Concerns
While Ellie specializes in trauma and sex therapy, clients often experience other issues and conditions: Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, C/PTSD, childhood abuse and neglect, sexual boundary violations, dealing with chronic pain or illness, insomnia, and relationship issues are common (among many others).
We can address any of these concerns with a variety of therapeutic modalities, including: EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting, conventional talk therapy and other somatic strategies.
Winter 2027, Ellie is adding hypnotherapy as an additional option.
Fees are due prior to each session’s completion. The full session fee is charged for cancellations with less than 24 hours notice - with a few exceptions. I do not take insurance. I can provide you with information that you can use to request reimbursed through your insurance.
