Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Hello, my name is Ellen Abra Ross, and I’ve been a mental health counselor for 8 years. I provide therapy services at our Northgate clinic.
I work with adults who have experienced traumatic situations, and work hard to create a safe and affirming space for my clients to talk about difficult things. If you are worried about the process of talking about hard things, please be assured, I focus on keeping the sessions “chill, productive, and affirming”.
I do ‘normal talk therapy’ (known as Rogerian or Humanistic Therapy). In this type of therapy, I try to create an egalitarian atmosphere to help you feel comfortable. I also specialize in treating Posttraumatic Stress Disorder with a process called ‘Cognitive Processing Therapy’ or ‘CPT’. This treatment takes about 13 sessions and can help reduce symptoms.
I am a therapist because I sincerely believe in the power of talking about our problems. I also come from a working-class family where we were taught to NOT talk about our problems, and understand how awkward it can feel. I get it. But therapy does have the power to change lives, and if you’re ready, I’m here for it.
