Hi, I’m Caitlin Ellis, LPC, CEDS, Therapist.

What made you decide to go into this specialty?
When completing my internship, I had the opportunity to work with a variety of different mental health diagnoses at the inpatient and residential levels of care. I found myself most drawn to working with those whose primary focus was on eating disorder recovery. I find it fulfilling to be a part of someone's healing journey as they learn to become more compassionate to their mind and body.
