Social Work Business and Ethics Consulting
We provide strategies that build confidence and reduce stress and anxiety for social workers with our 5 Pillars Model for navigating the social work ethics maze.
Ellen does this through individual and group consultations; clinic consultations; and trainings around ethics issues social workers face.
Counseling
Therapy is a systematic process and activity designed to remedy, cure, or abate some disease, disability, or problem. Therapy frequently involves in-depth exploration of the client's history, relationships with others, and self-esteem. It may also lead to intense emotional experiences that require the skills of an experienced practitioner to help guide you.
As a therapist, Ellen works with you to develop a treatment plan with goals and objectives that helps support your desired outcome.

Coaching
According to the International Coach Federation (ICF), "coaching is an ongoing relationship which focuses on clients taking action toward the realization of their visions, goals, or desires. Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the client's leval of awareness and responsibility and provides the client with structure, support, and feedback. The coaching process helps clients both define and achieve professional and personal goals faster and with more ease than would be possible otherwise."
Ellen uses a co-active coaching model in her work with co-parents and those experiencing life transitions.

Ellen's goal is to provide you the support you need on your journey regardless of the service provided.
