Intro

Introducing therapeutic practitioner Ellen Dean, a fully accredited clinical social worker based in Georgia. Boasting an impressive two-decade career within community mental health care, Ellen implements a composite of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and humanistic existential techniques into her counseling process. Providing a warm, respectful, and sincere environment, her foremost goal is to guide you on your path towards personal discovery.

Ellen's academic acumen includes a B.A in English from the University of Minnesota, an MSW from Hunter College School of Social Work, and several specialty certifications from renowned institutions. She is a fully certified Social Work Field Instructor (SIFI) and has completed a comprehensive training program in MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy at Naropa University, Boulder, CO, in 2020. Furthermore, she's equipped with skills in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, completed at Polaris Insight Center, San Francisco, CA, in 2021. Ellen deeply believes that true fulfillment arises from authentic self-acceptance. She presents a therapeutic quest for clients to dive into their past, analyze their present, and visualize their future profoundly. Upholding that our imperfections merely render us human, Ellen supports her clients in embracing their vulnerabilities while celebrating their strengths and beauty, thereby encouraging self-love in all its complexity.
