Emily Ellsworth

Emily Ellsworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who specializes in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationships, first-episode psychosis, and other psychotic symptoms. Emily has been committed to providing mental health services and life coaching to individuals ages 18+ for 9 years. She earned a dual degree in Psychology and Gender, Sexuality, and Feminism studies from Duke University where she fell in love with the idea of holistic treatment. She then earned her Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago to gain further knowledge about treating an individual from an internal and external perspective. Emily utilizes multiple treatment approaches including mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), empathetic and active listening, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. Emily understands that it is a natural response to build maladaptive coping mechanisms, but people who gain insight into these mechanisms can learn to adjust …them into more productive skills. Through the use of self-exploration, exposure activities, and interventions, Emily facilitates an environment where clients are free to become their ideal selves.
