A Space To Prioritize Your Wellbeing

Hi! I’m, Ellen Silka, MFT, a licensed therapist in California with experience supporting those looking to prioritize their mental health needs.

Racing thoughts, feeling overwhelmed, and stress can impact our ability to feel connected with ourselves and our needs. By becoming more mindful of your true self, we can learn how emotions, behaviors, and thoughts affect your life. My mission as a therapist is to bring fulfillment and meaningful change to your life and relationships.

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach; that is why I incorporate multiple evidence-based treatment methods for an integrative approach in therapy to create a treatment plan that will best fit my clients. I focus on working collaboratively with you to develop and reach your goals.
