Testimonials


“Ellysa is an incredible healer who has really played an instrumental role in my evolution as a woman, teacher, and being…

Ellysa understands me for who I am, who I am growing into, and the experiences I have endured. Ellysa has helped me confront my innermost traumas with compassion, understanding, and love. Working with her has taught me how to bring the light to my darkest places and I am eternally grateful to her for it. At first, when I was seeking a therapist I was incredibly nervous, because I was hoping that I would find someone who wasn't only going to see and understand me, but to also know how to help me develop the tools to heal myself. Ellysa walks the perfect balance of both a guide and a sister-energy. Relating to me when she needs to and holding me accountable when I need it. From our very first consultation I felt safe with Ellysa and I have continued to know that I am safe with her. She truly is a blessing.”

“Ellysa has been exactly what I needed and exactly what I’ve been looking for in a therapist…

I finally feel heard and most importantly understood! I use to be scared of going to therapy for the fear of being judged but from the first session I had with Ellysa my fears of judgment disappeared. Ellysa is honest, transparent, easy to speak to, and most importantly relatable! She genuinely cares and remembers all the important details, it is amazing. Thank you for all you do so well Ellysa!”

“Ellysa creates a safe space for people to feel welcome and comfortable to speak about anything...

I have been doing therapy with Ellysa for about a month now and she has helped me understand that it’s okay to feel all of my emotions, to always love myself because I’m resilient and beautiful.”

“I had been scared to try therapy because of past experiences with therapists who did not understand my experience…

but when I consulted with Ellysa, she made me feel super comfortable and supported, and I have really enjoyed working with her. She has really helped me open up more through being so laid back and understanding. I am so glad that I found her through inclusive therapists.”

“I had been going to therapy before I met Ellysa, but stopped going for almost a year because I felt that as a Latina there was a lack of connection and depth missing in my sessions after awhile…

When I found Ellysa I immediately reached out, I was beyond excited for the possibility of having a Latina therapist. My experience with Ellysa has offered me a level of understanding and connection that I'm not sure I could have reached seeing a strictly "clinical" approach therapist. Ellysa has felt like home since my consult with her and with her guidance I've learned that ultimately I'm my own healer and she has provided tools for me to feel it and start believing it and putting it into practice.”
