Atlanta Counseling Solutions

Ellen is an amazing resource and wealth of knowledge. I have been seeing Ellen for several years now and she has helped me navigate a variety of life issues in that time. She provides guidance and offers feedback that have helped me make real improvements in my life and relationships.

Ellen is perceptive, focused, and kind. She's helped with my self esteem and with facing some of the hard things. She also had insight into my meds and was well acquainted with up-to-date options. She's open minded and supportive of alternative lifestyles. I highly recommend her.

I also worked with Andrea in art therapy. She was such a good guide and was incredibly good at helping me accept myself where I am. Sessions with her always left me feeling at peace.

I’ve been working with Ellen and Andrea for the past few months and it’s been so wonderful. I have never had such good rapport with my mental health practitioners before! I feel so supported by both of them and they both offer me countless tools that have been beneficial to my growth. Ellen is such a great coach and really has offered me so much in our sessions. Not only has she made it easy to finally take the leap to get on medication but she is there to reassure me every step of the way in my journey of finding what works best for me. Andrea’s creative healing sessions are exactly what I’ve been searching for without even knowing. She tailors each session to fit exactly what I need whether it be journaling prompts or abstract illustrative practices. I’ve found so much joy being mindful while getting in touch with my creative roots again. Each time we meet she gently holds me accountable to take time to slow down and give my body and mind the things they need to heal and process. I really enjoy carving out this time with her for self care practices such as gentle stretching and breath work.

Ellen has been such a wonderful therapist. After my mother passed away, I was on a downward spiral. I am a behavioral health nurse and I didn’t even realize how much my anxiety and depression effected my life. After my first session with Ellen, she was able to pinpoint I went through a panic attack at work. She actually listens and takes the time to know YOU. She devotes her time to help you and wants you to reach out to her even without an appointment. I am very comfortable with her and I never feel embarrassed or judged. She does give me suggestions on how I can face a certain situation… she never forces/ makes you do anything you are uncomfortable with. Ellen has provided multiple resources and I used everyone of them. I have never felt better in my life. I don’t cry like I used to… I can think clearer and see the light. I’m planning things, making to do lists, and accomplishing my goals. This is something I wasn’t able to do for sooo long. I now have a good relationship with my family…. Especially my father. My coworkers and friends tell me, “ you look great, so refreshed!” I feel great, I feel positive, I feel… happy. I’ve recommended her to 3 coworkers thus far… and I’d recommend … if you are second guessing or afraid of talking to someone… don’t be… Ellen is amazing!! You won’t regret it 😄❤️

I thought I was "fine" after surviving a high-conflict divorce and the subsequent tumultuous and confusing relationship that followed. I'm smart, well-educated, and come from a very loving family. Women like me are well-grounded and don't find themselves in situations that require therapists. But I knew I needed help sorting things out.

Ellen saw that I was experiencing post-traumatic stress. She was patient, kind, and nonjudgemental as she helped me understand some things from a high-level view. She gave me the tools and advice I needed to take back my power and self esteem.

Today, I feel much stronger and happier. I'm very grateful to have worked with Ellen. She's had a pivotal role in my healing and I highly recommend her practice.
