Professional statement

Ronella Ellis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that specializes in helping individuals and couples with relationship issues and family conflict. She also supports those who experience conflict in the workplace, as well as interracial or intercultural issues in any context and those struggling with trauma or their spirituality. Ronella enjoys working with clients who are ready to dive into exploring their mental health and eager to make change in their lives.

Ronella is passionate about working with women, people of color, interracial couples, and those in the LGBTQ community. She draws from African Psychology when appropriate, and also promotes radical self care practices for clients that would benefit from placing their own well-being ahead of others, avoiding feelings of shame or guilt. Ronella also practices Internal Family Systems therapy and, at times, applies astrology to deepen clients’ introspection and connection to the self.

Ronella provides gentle guidance and perspective as clients address challenges in their lives and locate solutions. She strives to create a strong connection with her clients that opens the doors for healing and growth.
