I offer therapy services to young children, teens and adults. Play therapy and talk therapy make up a large part of my practice.  Integrating other modalities can also be used to support the client if the client is interested, including: EMDR, mind-body practices like visualizations, breathing and yoga practice, and spiritual counseling.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Caregiver Support

In the lives of busy families and extended families, sometimes caregivers’ needs and stressors can get lost in the shuffle. Sometimes caregivers need their own space to process their experiences and make sense of the demands and responsibilities in their lives.

Spiritual Counseling

The intersection of psychotherapy and the exploration of faith and meaning in daily life. Religious faith, or some form of personal spirituality, can be a powerful source of meaning and purpose.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a type of therapy which assumes that the first language of a child is play.  As a result a child is often better able to express and communicate feelings and ideas through play.

Therapy Services on Cape Cod

About Ellen

I have been working in the fields of child and adult mental health for more than 25 years.  

I was born and raised on Cape Cod, and after many years living in Boston and beyond,  I returned to the Cape in 2014 to start my own private practice in Centerville.

My professional career with young children started as a toddler and preschool teacher when my mother opened Stepping Stones Child Care Center in Centerville in 1991.
