Mental Health Counselor
Hello! My name is Ella Allen, and I am a therapist at South Side Flats location. I work with adults ages 18 and older. My counseling experience is in substance abuse/dualdiagnosis. I have additional experience working as a music therapist with adults with disabilities. My hope is to meet you wherever you are at and explore the next best step forward for you.
Drawing on motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques, I offer a space to reflect, build new skills and be truly heard. My music therapy background allows me to integrate techniques like lyric analysis, songwriting, and creative expression if we decide it would be helpful.
Ultimately, I want to support you along your mental health journey and collaborate on the goals that are meaningful to you. Choosing to reach out in life’s challenging moments takes strength, and I am so glad you are here. I look forward to meeting!
