Bryan Ellingson
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
My clinical training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and complex trauma.
I value working with diverse clients to improve how you feel about yourself, relate to others, cope with stress, gain insight and more adaptive approaches to live your authentic life. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I collaborate with clients from all walks of life. My approach as a therapist is authentic and relational. I see the heart of a matter, and what is beyond overt language. I believe lasting change is possible through a therapeutic relationship that is safe, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and engenders openness and trust. Our work together also values your uniqueness and specific goals.
