Ellis Black
(They/Them/Theirs)
Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist
Hi, I’m Dr. Ellis Black (they/them)! I offer individual therapy focused on queer identity exploration, mood/anxiety concerns, and managing burnout.
My practice is focused on supporting queer and trans folx who may be exploring identity and values, burnout, deconstruction from high-control religion, mood/anxiety concerns, or assertiveness and communication skills. I provide psychotherapy with or without medication management. My practice is a queer, trans, and BIPOC affirming space rooted in anti oppression. I would love to hear more about what you are working on and how I can be of support!
