Ellen Ford, LMHC
Hi, I’m Ellen! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Brooklyn, NY. I offer trauma-informed support for:
Before entering clinical practice, I worked in community health and education, helping people access resources and supporting youth through social and emotional learning. I have since worked in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings, where I have supported individuals facing grief and anxiety.
At some point in life, everyone will face loss. Grief is a natural response, but that does not make it any easier to carry.
My passion is walking alongside women with compassion and honesty, offering support that helps them feel less alone in what they are carrying.
I approach each session with curiosity, collaboration, and a focus on what matters most to you
Many of the women I work with are grieving a loved one while also feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion. Life keeps moving, and they may feel lost, unsure of how to cope and find a sense of direction.
Together, we navigate pain, find moments of connection, and gradually build resilience and hope. Using mindfulness, compassion, and a trauma-sensitive approach, we create space for grief while fostering grounding, meaning, and strength.
If you’d like to learn more about my approach and how I can support you, I invite you to set up a free 15-minute consultation call.
