Whale Being Therapy, Ellie Wilde, Ph.D.

I love to help individuals and partnerships find empowerment, freedom, joy, and connection in the face of systemic oppression.
 
My approach is warm, supportive, relational, active, playful, and expressive. I specialize in supporting folks with LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and immigrant backgrounds, as well as neurodiverse clients (ADHD, Autism, AUDHD (both!) and more). I see my role as helping you uncover what is hidden, break free from barriers, and reconnect with your vibrant inner aliveness and those who support it.
 
If traditional talk therapy feels unhelpful, I offer a cutting edge approach. I use a powerful combination of Internal Family Systems, embodied healing methods like psychodrama, Polyvagal Theory based somatics, and expressive arts therapies to help you heal. With these resources, it is much easier to move through life more freely and joyfully, improve relationships, and overcome what has held you back. I work actively, attending to patterns between us, in our emotions, and our bodies.
 
I join you as a supportive equal, walking alongside you as you forge your own path, accepting and challenging yourself in ways you choose, finding allies and community aIong the way. I would be honored to join you on your journey, and tailor my approach to your needs as a client.
