Ellen Mail, MSW, LICSW, PMH-C

I practice from a person-centered, integrative therapy orientation to tend to each client’s unique needs and challenges. I also weave self-compassion, mindfulness, and somatic techniques into my clinical work. Humor is sometimes employed — and always welcome — in session, too. My therapeutic approach focuses on developing the relationship between client and clinician because the therapeutic relationship is well-established as the most effective component of therapy. Empathy, respect, compassion, collaboration, and at times humor comprise the foundation of my practice style. I pay close attention to my clients’ needs and wishes — and how they shift over time — via intentional listening, reflection and collaborative discovery to facilitate self-discovery, healing, and change.
