Ellyn M TongMarriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

About

Changes, struggles, and just-being-stuck happens. You do not have to go it alone. A listener and a suggester of new ways of seeing or doing things might help. Together we can strive to help you, your family, or your children to a place of hope, well-being, and growth. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, mid-life adults and seniors. I became a therapist through working with divorcing families and children of divorce. Divorce is a hard transition for children and parents. A therapist can help with the sadness, discomfort, and difference in challenging times. Sometimes words just can not be found to express what is being felt. I use play therapy and art therapy to help with communication and expression through metaphor. I also use CBT, EMDR, Solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing.
