Ellen Foraker, LPC

Ellen Foraker is a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides therapy for children, teens, and adults. She supports clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, peer issues, school concerns, anger management difficulties, adjustment disorders, LGBTQ+ concerns, and general life stressors. Her goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and more able to move toward healing and well-being.

Many people begin therapy feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure where to start. Ellen believes the therapeutic relationship is an essential part of effective treatment. Because of that, she works to create an environment where clients feel comfortable enough to be honest, explore challenges openly, and build meaningful change over time.
