Seeking support can feel overwhelming, and I know that starting therapy is not always easy. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can take a breath, be yourself, and talk openly about what you are carrying.
I’m passionate about helping people work through life’s challenges with compassion and practical support. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, low self-esteem, or feeling emotionally stuck, I strive to meet you where you are. I want patients to feel heard, supported, and empowered as they move toward healing and growth.
I have experience working in the mental health inpatient setting where I treated clients experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, behavior issues and difficulty in communicating within the family unit.
Therapy with me will be collaborative and supportive. My priority is that you will learn and grow the skills needed to challenge your negative and anxious thoughts and to help you adjust to life transitions.
Greetings! My name is LaKendria Ellis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who cares. I obtained my Masters in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling in 2017 and acquired a wide variety of experience in my time as a clinician and through my own journey of healing. I hope to help clients become the best versions of themselves by practicing authenticity! I am my clients "biggest cheerleader" and "advocate". I help individuals heal while working through life transitions. Let me help you.
I help overwhelmed young adults and Millennial professionals who struggle with anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. Does overthinking affect your day-to-day life or cause problems in relationships? Do you feel like you're the one that everyone comes to for help, but you have a hard time getting help for yourself? You're ambitious but you wonder if a balanced life is achievable. Now, more than ever, people are overwhelmed with juggling responsibilities, relationships, careers, and trying to find their place in life; but there is hope.
Hi, I obtained my bachelor's degree in art with a focus on Psychology and a master's in counseling. I am also nationally certified as a trauma therapist. I have served many populations ranging from children as young as 4 to people transitioning in end of life care. I have worked in the non-profit sector, private practice and as a mental health presenter. These experiences have provided me with opportunities to serve diverse populations with an array of needs.
As your therapist, I want you to know that my goal is to provide a supportive, honest, and empowering space where you can safely grow and heal. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience working in substance abuse treatment, addiction recovery, and couples therapy. I am also certified in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and trauma-informed care. I bring a direct yet compassionate approach to therapy—one that is motivating, empathetic, and grounded in humility. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Psychology at Grand Canyon University, which continues to strengthen my clinical skills and deepen my commitment to helping clients create lasting change. My practice is built on respect, collaboration, and the belief that everyone has the capacity to transform their life.
