This August our lobby is geared up for back to school, with uplifting notes on our whiteboard, back to school coping skills, and conversation starters for our kiddos and teens! ✏️🍎

We also want to acknowledge that this month is grief awareness month.
Grief touches more people than we think, 1 in 3 people report experiencing significant grief in the past three years. Unresolved grief can increase risk of depression, anxiety and physical illness.

Here at Ellie we are here to help you through all seasons of life, we wish you all a happy and healthy August!🔆

Wherever you start, we're here to help you find the right fit.

Not every struggling athlete looks burned out. Sometimes it shows up as irritability. Sometimes it's a sudden lack of motivation. Sometimes it's a kid who used to love their sport but now dreads practice, seems emotionally checked out, or just doesn't seem like themselves. It's easy to assume they're being lazy, distracted, or going through a phase. But burnout, anxiety, and performance pressure can affect athletes at every level. If something feels different, trust that instinct. A simple conversation can open the door to support long before things reach a breaking point.

Summer can make it seem like everyone else is having the best few months of their life. Every scroll brings another vacation, another celebration, another picture-perfect moment. Meanwhile, real life is still happening. Bills still need to be paid. Work still needs to get done. Relationships still have hard moments. Mental health struggles don't disappear just because it's sunny outside. When we compare our everyday lives to someone else's carefully selected moments, it's easy to feel like we're missing out or falling behind. The truth is that most people are carrying things you can't see through a screen. If social media has been leaving you feeling worse instead of more connected, that feeling is worth paying attention to.

Meet an Ellie therapist, Cassidy Schaffer LCSW🐘

Whether you're carrying something that's been weighing on you for years or navigating a new challenge, you deserve a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. Cassidy creates a warm, authentic environment where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, you'll work toward understanding your experiences, healing what no longer serves you, and building a life that feels more aligned with your values.

Using a trauma-informed approach, Cassidy integrates evidence-based practices including DBT, ACT, EFT, and elements of IFS to help you better understand the parts of yourself that deserve compassion and healing while developing practical skills for creating meaningful relationships and lasting change. She works with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life's transitions, helping you reconnect with yourself and feel more like you again.

Outside the therapy room, you'll likely find Cassidy enjoying the outdoors, working in the garden, fishing, reading a good book, or spending time with her family.

You don’t need a new awareness month to know you’re stressed. You’ve probably been carrying it for a while. Putting off support doesn’t mean you don’t care. It usually just means it feels like too much to figure out. If therapy has been sitting in the “I’ll get to it” category, you’re not behind. When you’re ready, Ellie can help make that first step feel a little more manageable.
