Hi, I am Linda Ellerbrock LSW, LPCC Do you feel swept up in the storms of life? Do you feel like you are stuck in a bad dream that will never end? Do you feel like you are haunted by the "Wicked Witches" or "Flying Monkeys" of life? Follow the Ellerbrock Road Counseling Services and I can help. Just as the All and Powerful Oz helped Dorothy get back home, the Scarecrow a brain, The Tin Man a heart and the Cowardly Lion find courage, I can help you do the same. I am here to help repair fragile homes, restore disordered thinking, mend broken hearts, and find the courage to keep moving on when times are tough. I can help you avoid the Wicked Witches and Flying Monkeys in your life by helping you find positive solutions to whatever life sends your way. I do not perform magic, but I have over 25 years of experience in helping people of all ages from Munchkins to Auntie Em"s. I use many different approaches in my therapy but mostly try to make a connection and follow my client's lead. I use a blend of humor, creativity and life experiences to help my clients feel comfortable and not alone. Just like Dorothy and her friends were afraid to move forward despite the Wicked Witch, Flying Monkeys and The Powerful Oz's demands. I will help you get beyond the fears and uncomfortableness of therapy and move forward.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
our first session will be a "get to know session". I will ask a lot of questions to get an idea of what you would like to work on in therapy.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use mostly client-centered therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with my client. I am educated in art therapy, play therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as well as several others.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy working with all ages but especially enjoy working with teens, young adults and children. I have a long history of working with depression, anxiety, OCD, disordered thinking, grief, adjustment disorders, self-esteem issues, peer relationships, family stress, and marital problems to mention a few. I also have developed an anger management method that I use with my clients.
