I have benefited tremendously from Ellen's wisdom and insights. I appreciate her willingness to be transparent about her struggles which in turn encourages me to be open about my struggles. She provides me with tools to help me work through my issues which have proven invaluable. ~ JT

Ellen's encouraging spirit and wisdom helped guide me through a difficult time. ~ SC

Ellen’s thoughtfulness and prayer involved with every session left me feeling that our relationship was more of an extended conversation over time, not just an hour here and there. Her ideas for mind projects and homework, the articles she brought, and the books she suggested opened my eyes on how to make sense of the emotional world I had been trying to deal with, but did not know how to. ~ JJ

Ellen listens well and is able to get to the real heart of the matter. I always feel comfortable sharing anything with her. ~ KA

My counseling relationship with Ellen was definitely God appointed and a true blessing to me. I reached out to Ellen at the height of a period of intense anxiety in my life. I was longing for deep healing but feeling hopeless that I might ever experience it. Ellen sat with me in my pain, prayed with me (and over me when I was too weak), heartened me when I was discouraged, and spoke truth into my life when I needed to hear it. She walked beside me along the journey God had me on and He used her gifts of compassion, gentleness, and keen insight to facilitate great healing that I had never experienced before. I am eternally grateful for her friendship and her commitment to her calling. ~ DB

Ellen helped restore my spiritual and emotional stability, and set before me the tools to access the joy that had been buried in my sorrow. I found a whole heart again in order to embrace the gifts and blessings of this life and to stand firm in the midst of trial. I have a more balanced foundation, which gets rocked, but does not tip over as I practice the mental healing she offered me. ~ JJ

God led me to Ellen at a very low point in my life, and without her and her guidance, I would not have recovered as quickly. To anyone who needs a kind face, shoulder and ear, Ellen is your lady! ~ SR
