Established in California, Ellen Ottman's practice primarily focuses on establishing a fresh way to connect with yourself, others, and the world around you. The practice emphasizes on healing through the mind-body connection, channeling key attention towards once overlooked signals our bodies continually transmit. Our discomforts, such as headaches from excessive computer use, or that tautness of shoulders in moments of conflict, bear vital meanings. These, if constantly ignored or pushed aside, can lead to chronic pain, digestive issues, acute anxiety, PTSD symptoms, severe depression, or even burnout. Ellen's therapeutic approach allows you to decelerate, be more in touch with your physiology and emotions, understand what your body is truly communicating. Cultivating such awareness is the foremost step towards effecting any change and fostering deeper connections with others and the world at large.
Ellen Ottman's practice creates a sanctuary where clients can pay attention to all aspects of their selves that are typically overlooked or forgotten. Wounds, traumas, grief, joy, and growth can all be recognized, addressed, and integrated, resulting in a more meaningful and connected experience in a bustling world. Ellen devotes her passion to assist diverse individuals, couples, or multiple partners dealing with systemic oppression and/or discrimination based on sexuality, race, ethnicity, gender identity, or disability. Her practice areas also include relationship difficulties & transitions, identity exploration, and psychedelic therapy, among others. Currently, she provides therapy remotely to clients in California via video and online sessions. With a holistic approach to therapy and a belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, she nurtures a compassionate and safe space for individuals seeking a more fulfilling life, helping them delve inward and harness their body's innate wisdom. Her credentials further include Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Training, Brainspotting Training, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Training, and an MA in Integral Counseling Psychology.
