Online Therapy for Adults in Illinois, Washington, Indiana, and Michigan

You want to feel calm, confident, and more present in your life and relationships, but most days you find yourself...

  • Overthinking and getting pulled into downward spirals

  • Becoming overwhelmed and burned out

  • Comparing yourself to others and never feeling “good enough”

  • Chasing perfection, even when it’s exhausting

  • Feeling lonely, like nobody truly understands you

  • Worrying that you’re a burden to the people you care about

  • Lying awake at night, unable to quiet your mind

You know you’re being too hard on yourself, but you just can’t stop.

You’re in the right place to feel better.

Ivy Ellis Therapist Chicago

Finally…therapy that works.

Welcome,
I’m Ivy Ellis, LCSW (she/her)

Let’s be real - if you're frantically searching "therapy help ASAP" or leaning on ChatGPT, you’ve likely already tried to figure this out on your own. You’ve put in significant effort trying to feel better, but lasting change has been hard to find.

That's where I come in.

I believe therapy doesn’t have to suck. I'm not the type of therapist who sits back and nods, or resorts to the classic "how does that make you feel" approach. Instead, I dive right in to help you recognize the unhealthy patterns in your behaviors and thoughts. Moreover, I'll equip you with new skills and techniques to navigate challenges and create long-lasting changes.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a sense of what it’s like to work with me. If you’re ready for a more thoughtful and individualized approach, you’re welcome to reach out.
