About Ellen Bass

Ellen is a licensed mental health counselor who supports adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, difficult relationships and narcissistic abuse, self-confidence, identity, and life transitions. She also specializes in ADHD therapy, executive functioning, and the practical challenges of getting unstuck and moving forward.

Ellen offers exploratory, depth-oriented counseling for those looking to better understand themselves, their relationships, and patterns in their lives. This might include navigating difficult relationship dynamics, recovering from a painful breakup, healing from narcissistic abuse, or building greater self-confidence and healthier patterns in their relationships with themselves and others.

She also offers more structured, solution-focused guidance for those seeking support with ADHD and executive functioning. She especially enjoys helping college students and adults get organized, find direction, and build confidence in their ability to follow through on the things that matter most to them.

ADHD and executive functioning counseling may be a good fit if you are:

• Starting college or returning to school after time away

• Struggling with organization, planning, motivation, or follow-through

• Navigating ADHD or executive functioning challenges

• Feeling overwhelmed by coursework, deadlines, or priorities

• Exploring educational or career direction and unsure of your next steps

Ellen draws from ACT-based models, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and executive functioning skill building. Her work combines self-exploration, practical strategies, values-based action, and taking brave steps toward meaningful change.

Outside of work, Ellen enjoys painting, yoga and movement, video games, good food, and spending time with her dog Red (and is a big fan of all dogs). Some of her favorite values to live by are playfulness, humor, and curiosity.
