Ellen Keyser, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Hi, I’m Ellen Keyser, LPC — and I’m so glad you’re here.
With over 22 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in helping adults and young adults (18–60) navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply in need of clarity, my approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life tools for healing.
My work is rooted in the belief that therapy should feel like a safe, nonjudgmental space — one where you’re met exactly where you are. I’m here to help you rediscover your sense of self, strengthen your boundaries, and find more peace, joy, and meaning in your everyday life.
In addition to individual therapy, I also work with couples and families using the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to building stronger, healthier relationships. Whether you’re seeking personal growth or deeper connection with loved ones, we’ll work together to create a path forward that feels right for you.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you're ready to take the next step, you can check my availability in the calendar next to my name and book directly with me. I look forward to meeting you.
Let’s get started — you’re worth it.
