Professional statement

Nathan Ely is a licensed marriage and family therapist in South Pasadena, California. He specializes in working with couples, individuals, kids, teens and families as well as trauma recovery with EMDR therapy. He has a holistic approach to therapy that involves treating body, mind and soul, working toward a place of healing, wholeness and inner peace.

Nathan first got his start in ministry as a worship leader and musician, and later worked in the private and public school systems as a teacher. These experiences opened his eyes to the need for people of all ages to find healing and a pathway through their difficult experiences. This desire led to a passion for counseling and walking with people through the healing process.

His therapy career began in a private practice. Afterward, he worked as a child therapist at a community mental health clinic, followed by a group private practice specializing in couples therapy. After several years in private practice and through countless hours of training and experience, he started his own practice located near South Pasadena for in person or remote sessions in California.
