Hello, I'm Ellen. I have been enjoying my work with the group at Drew|Bitar, PLLC for the past several months and continue looking forward to what 2014 has to offer.
I am a provisionally licensed
marriage and family therapist in North Carolina. I have a particular interest
in couple’s therapy, focusing on the family-of-origin and attachment styles of
each individual. I graduated from Davidson College in 2007 and from
Pfeiffer University's rigorous three-year marriage and family therapy graduate
program in 2013. My intensive training included marital and family
therapy, individual counseling, crisis counseling, and therapy with children
and adolescents. I have worked as a therapist at the Pfeiffer Institute for
Marriage and Family Therapy and at the Ronald McDonald House, both located in
Charlotte, North Carolina. Before earning my graduate degree, I worked for
five years at Thompson Child and Family Focus, a Psychiatric Residential
Treatment Facility for children and adolescents.
I view therapy as a collaborative process, and strive to provide a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I do not strictly adhere to one therapeutic framework, but instead consider myself an eclectic therapist. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and solution-focused family therapy techniques, among others. I am a believer in an attachment-based view of relationships, and believe that insight into our pasts, including our families-of-origin, can help us heal unhealthy patterns that exist in our lives today.
