I'm David Ellis, a therapist with experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. My work centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and anger—while also exploring deeper questions about purpose, connection, and forgiveness.
I have a particular passion for working with older adults and creating space for meaningful conversations about isolation, loneliness, and finding direction in life. I believe that therapy works best when there's alignment between therapist and client, and I'm committed to bringing authenticity and progressive values to our work together.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and genuine curiosity about your unique story. I see my role as walking alongside you with respect and care, helping you build insight and resilience at your own pace. Whether you're processing difficult experiences, managing overwhelming emotions, or searching for greater meaning, I'm here to support you with honesty and compassion.
Taking the step to seek therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
