Garrett Ellis
MSE, LPC • Licensed Professional Counselor
About
Empathy, active listening, and a strengths-based perspective form the foundation of Garrett Ellis's therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree obtained in 2021, Garrett brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to providing culturally aware and sensitive mental health treatment to his community.
Garrett's journey in the mental health counseling field began in 2018, and since then, he has actively worked to unpack his own privilege in society. This self-awareness has allowed him to cultivate a practice that values and respects the unique experiences and identities of every individual he works with. His focus on adults and adolescents is grounded in the belief that therapeutic relationships should be built on equality, mutual respect, and solidarity.
At the heart of Garrett's practice is a genuine appreciation for people's stories, recognizing that these narratives hold power and add meaning to the world we live in. He views therapy as a collaborative journey towards wellness, walking alongside his clients as they explore life's difficulties and discover enrichment and hope together. This approach creates a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can freely express themselves, feel heard, and develop a deeper understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Garrett's commitment to authenticity and unconditional acceptance guides clients in opening themselves to their deeper potential. He places significant emphasis on building a strong therapeutic alliance, recognizing that a secure, collaborative relationship can shift the brain from a "flight or fight" mode to a more reflective, insightful state. This secure foundation allows for transformative work to take place.
For Garrett, it is both an honor and a privilege to accompany individuals on their therapeutic journey. He is dedicated to creating a compassionate and supportive environment where challenges can be explored, strengths uncovered, and steps taken towards a more fulfilling and empowered life. Together with his clients, Garrett embarks on a transformative journey of healing, growth, and holistic well-being, leveraging each individual's inherent strengths and resilience to overcome challenges and foster personal growth.
