Ellie Feldmann, LCPC provides online therapy to women based in Chicago, serving all of Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. I work with women struggling with relationships, anger management or past traumas that are resurfacing. I take a personalized, trauma-informed approach to explore the root of your issues to be able to find REAL solutions that work for you. We will work on unraveling the "why" behind your choices and behaviors and learn how to choose differently so you can stop feeling stuck.
I take a no-nonsense approach to therapy where you will be "called out on your stuff" in a gentle and supportive manner so you don't keep avoiding the painful parts of you. We will teach you how to unpack your issues so they don't continue to control you. I work with women whose first line of protection is anger. Anger is a coverup feeling so we will explore what is beneath that anger to help you heal from it.
I also specialize in the animal-human bond. I work with pet parents and animal professional to help manage the stress, anxiety and grief that come from the animal/human relationship. I work with parents of challenging parents, parents who have lost a pet and animal professionals who are burnt out and overwhelmed. I have a certification as a pet grief counselor.
All sessions are held virtually in the comfort of your own space. I have both late evenings (up until 11 pm some nights) and weekend availability. I also tend to have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate your changing needs.
