Accessing our own healing ability…

Ellen is trained and certified in EMDR as well as Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-oriented psychotherapy approach to working with both shock and developmental trauma, focusing on regulating the nervous system. Peter Levine, the developer of SE, observed that animals in the wild survive by their inborn immunity to trauma. He discovered that human beings have the same natural healing abilities, but that our more highly developed brains actual get in the way of our instinctive processes. Somatic Experiencing helps us access our own natural healing ability.

Ellen works with couples, both straight and gay as well as many parents and their adult children, facilitating healing of past hurts and estrangements.
