DR. BARBARA ELLIS

LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST

A professional practice offering a wide range of psychological services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Let me help you put the pieces together........together

This website was developed to help consumers learn about my practice, about psychotherapy, and who and how it may help.

I have included a consumer section to educate visitors about a number of topics: What is psychotherapy? What happens in a therapy session? How long does therapy last? What do I need to know about insurance and managed care? Are there any exclusions to confidentiality? Myths and Facts

If you have questions which you cannot find answers to here please feel free to contact me.

First, a little about myself professionally:

I have been licensed and in private practice since 1986. My degrees include: a B.A. in Psychology from Boston University, College of Liberal Arts, an Ed.M. in Counselor Education from Boston University’s School of Education, and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Hahnemann Medical College/Widener University Graduate Institute of Clinical Psychology.

During my years in practice, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families in a variety of school and clinical settings both in-patient and out-patient. I have also moderated an on-line forum for single mothers.

Areas of interest include: imago therapy, family of origin issues, separation-individuation throughout the life cycle, parenting, adolescence-middlescence, post traumatic stress, depression, workplace abuse and trauma, psychological violence and trauma, bullying, relationship abuse, autism, social skills training, emotional intelligence, character development, and the psychology of terrorism.
