We vow to be really and truly different from other mental health providers. The mental health field presents barriers not just for clients and the community, but also for the helpers, therapists, and creatives who do this work. Our core values drive all that we do, and help us align with our "why". We do what we do because it makes sense, and because of science, of course. An abundance of research says that taking intentional time to help your mental health increases your overall well being and life satisfaction. Our services are an opportunity for your brain to take a break. A break that includes support from a professional secret keeper who will ride with you on your emotional journey and offer guidance along the way. Our core values ensure that all of our actions from the impactful connections between clients and therapists to the big business decisions align with our goal of providing innovative mental health services that fill a gap in our communities.Our Values Creativity: Ellie locations across the country rely on creativity to provide unique mental health care in their communities.Authenticity: Sincerity, integrity, and genuineness are all traits we aim to sharpen through honest self-reflection and ongoing self-development.
