“Ellie Mental Health is committed to helping our clients thrive and not just survive,” says owner Marian Weaver: “We are Mental Health Care with a casual vibe founded on the values of creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination. Healing is serious business, but humor can be a welcome addition to the process.” Ellie therapists are encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work which makes clients feel more connected and comfortable. Ellie therapists feel honored to walk the journey with their clients and empower them to make the meaningful changes necessary to add joy to their lives.
Ellie Mental Health’s tranquil location next to a lake is an ideal atmosphere for healing. Offices are each set up as a warm and welcoming living room where clients can curl up with a cozy throw blanket if desired. They make meaningful effort to help clients feel a genuine connection with their therapist so they have someone they can vibe with.
Their La Vista clinic is unique because of specially set up offices geared toward Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT.) This type of therapy is aimed at improving the quality of parent-child relationships and enhancing behavior management in young children. There is a one-way window between these specialized offices and communication headsets for real time coaching and feedback with parents/guardians who are engaging with the child. Results of this specialized therapy are known to offer lasting change.
“Ellie Mental Health – La Vista wishes to help break the stigma of mental health care. We strive to spread the message that Mental Health Care is a vital component of overall well-being and living a full, balanced and meaningful life. Mental Health Care is Health Care,” Weaver says. “I have spent my career as an Occupational Therapist because I wanted to help restore Quality of Life to the lives of those who were physically suffering. What I observed in the process was that physical suffering could heal with a return of physical ability and function, but if my client’s mental health was not in a good place, their quality of life continued to suffer.”
Life can throw challenges your way and good mental health can give you the tools to navigate those situations and bounce back. Ellie Mental Health – La Vista is committed to meeting you where you are, respecting your unique journey, and fostering a safe, inclusive space for healing and growth.
