Brian Ellez, LMHC

As a therapist, I work to develop a relationship of collaboration and attunement to support clients in realizing the change they seek in their lives. I have extensive experience with adults and teens working through trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as family and other relational issues, work stress and life transitions. I use a variety of practical, skills-based techniques nested in larger life-contexts of family and culture, to explore solutions and rediscover hope. I take an active approach giving feedback, suggesting actions, and assigning homework. I will work with you to develop more kindness and compassion for yourself in your journey towards self-discovery and wellness.

I am bilingual (Spanish) and accustomed to working with cultural differences. I work eclectically from a variety of therapeutic models depending on my client's goals and preferences, including mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused, somatic work for trauma, structural family therapy and family of origin frameworks.
