Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Invested in her team, excellent listener, insightful, warm, patient and grounded. Effective results with her clients and team.

I have been working with Dr Michelle Ellis for quite some time helping me with behavior management for my 2 teenagers. I cannot thank her enough for all her support, she helps me tremendously with the behaviors and always giving me tips and concrete suggestions on how to approach an issue and solve it. She just does not only listen but really provides excellent solutions that work!! I have seen changes in my kids for the best!! I have seen many therapists and Dr Ellis is the best!! I always look forward to our appointments! Thank you Dr Ellis for all that you do for me and my kids

My 5 Star Review of Dr. Michelle Ellis
My evaluation and recommendation are based upon how many 'illuminating realization and awareness' moments I have experienced during our sessions. Often times I can exhaust in my own analysis but then Dr. Ellis interjects an observation I lacked the expertise to recognize which then produces a more applicable conclusion or result. I am Most Grateful for her astute ability to get me to move forward from one issue to the next toward better health and resolve! Thank You, Michelle!

Awesome!
I cannot say enough about Michelle. From the very first meeting, she made me feel totally comfortable. She listened to me in a caring and professional manner, which allowed me open up more and more with each session. She has helped me to identify my areas of development, and to develop the tools to use for improvement. I am in a much better place in my life thanks to Michelle!

I worked with Dr. Ellis for about eight months. She is amazingly accessible; she listens closely, and, she is non-judgmental even when one is not at one's best. With humor and insight she provides direction in helping to change behaviors. She is open and helpful. I never left a session without feeling the possibility of positive movement forward. She is also a great resource for alternative therapeutic approaches.

Dr. Ellis helps you actually change how you listen to your critical inner voice. She listens and gives you tools you can use. If you have the chance to see her as your therapist, take it.

I began therapy with Dr. Ellis not sure I could continue in my marriage. Employing the tools taught to me by Dr. Ellis, my marriage is moving forward on a path of peace and growth. Therapy with Dr. Ellis exceeded my expectations. Her common-sense approach uses techniques that are simple, but extremely effective...they brougt about a great deal of positive change for my entire family.

It’s been a challenging year (2020) with items piling up on me and I was feeling overwhelmed. I saw Dr. Ellis every two weeks for about 3.5 months. Dr. Ellis gave me helpful insight and useful techniques. I practice these and they have proved successful enough such that I will now only see Dr. Ellis as/if needed. I feel so much better and I am happier having progressed through treatment with Dr. Ellis. I am back to feeling hopeful about the future. Additionally, I discussed what I have learned with a few close relatives and I believe they are finding benefits too. I am so thankful I found Dr. Ellis. She’s great.

I saw Dr. Ellis for about a year. She was wonderful. I learned so much from her that I use daily. She really helped me learn to keep my anxiety at bay. Also a great help with my relationship issues. Eventually I learned what I needed from her and as I applied it didn’t need therapy as often. She told me she’d keep an open door for upkeep appts and to let her know if I needed one. I really enjoyed working with her and I hope those of you seeing her do as well.

Dr. Ellis is amazing! She listens well and is easy to talk to. She is very direct and to the point, but in a caring way which I love. Her knowledge and guidance is very appreciated and has been effective so far with our son. I highly recommend her, she's one of those doctors that we need more of in this world. My only complaint is that our time together goes by way too fast! :)

Dr. Ellis has been helping me with my teenage son on and off for a couple of years now. How can I even begin to say how much she has helped me and my family? She is warm and caring, but also informative and likes to impart concrete tools to help. Recently, my son has been having some difficulties, and Dr. Ellis was able to fit him into her schedule even though she barely has any space. I highly recommend her and the other therapists and doctors in her practice.

I called to make an appt with Dr. Ellis and she explained there was a waitinglist but was very concerend about my situation and told me that if I couldnt find someone with an opening that i should call back and she would figure something out. I called around and didnt get a call back from any of the people I called. so I called DR. Ellis again, and she was able to fit me in that following week. I am very grateful for her flexability and demonstrated care and concern.

Michelle has been instrumental in helping me overcome the biggest obstacles that I have faced with in the past three years. She helped me navigate the emotional highs and lows of divorce and helped me repair and rediscover who I am. She is warm, caring and always finds time to squeeze me in in the event of a crisis. Don't know where'd id be with out her!
