Ellie is passionate about helping people reduce suffering and develop joyful, meaningful lives through the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She truly believes that we have the ability to change our lives by addressing unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving. Ellie works with individuals facing a range of problems, including anxiety, obsessive disorders, depression, personality disorders (including borderline personality disorder), and body image dissatisfaction. She has a special interest in working with individuals who experience suicidal thoughts and engage in self-harm. She genuinely loves what she does, and that passion comes through in her work.  

Ellie earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the New School for Social Research and completed her clinical training at NYU/Bellevue Hospital Center, where she worked with adults, adolescents, and children. Her dissertation focused on attachment between caregivers and their children. In addition to her work with clients, she supervises at NYCBT and for medical residents at Icahn School of Medicine, Mt. Sinai Hospital. During her free time, she loves going on walks in Central Park with her family, including her mini schnauzer, and occasionally going on hikes (but no longer than three miles, please).
