Ellie Messinger-Adams

LPCCBio:
Hi, I'm Ellie Messinger-Adams, a clinical counselor and mom of two young kiddos, specializing in helping overwhelmed mamas find their voice and navigate the beautiful mess of motherhood. With over a decade of experience, I offer a judgment-free space where you can be truly heard and supported as we tackle motherhood anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and unexpected teen pregnancy. Using holistic and evidence-based approaches like ACT and IFS, we'll honor the mind-body connection, develop your core sense of self, and help you reclaim your sanity amidst the chaos of parenting. Whether you're dealing with postpartum struggles, birth trauma, or daily parenting stresses, I'm here to guide you towards rediscovering joy and thriving as both a woman and a mother. Let's work together to uncover your inner strength and amplify your unique voice in this wild journey of motherhood, either in my cozy San Marcos or Encinitas offices or virtually across California. Note: I accept Lyra EAP and can submit your OON claims through Thrizer.
