Meet Dr. Chance
Welcome! I'm Ellen.
​
I am the founder of Whole Counseling and Wellness. Our private practice specializes in women's and maternal mental health, and is committed to promoting the well-being of women and mothers in our community. I am passionate about supporting individuals in navigating the challenges and complexities of conception, pregnancy, motherhood, and life. Furthermore, I serve women facing the challenges of infertility, birth trauma, miscarriage, grief, and loss. Utilizing integrative, evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I work with women towards achieving whole wellness. At Whole Counseling & Wellness you’re treated as a whole person—not a set of symptoms.
​
I offer in-person counseling services in Stuart, FL, or at your fingertips via secure, confidential teletherapy. I utilize technology to increase access to care, to add convenience to your already busy life, and offer services to individuals, couples, and groups across Florida. Once established, you have will have access to a confidential, secure client portal to schedule appointments, communicate between sessions, and monitor your progress.
​
Together, we will create the space and time for you to prioritize your needs and tap into your unique strengths, explore self-compassion, and focus on your overall wellness. Through practice and effective therapeutic approaches you will move from survival mode to feeling whole, balanced, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges, stressors, and the many roles you fulfill.
