LCSW, 17 years of experience
Hello ... I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have a master of social work degree from North Carolina A&T State University and UNC at Greensboro. I have provided counseling to many in my community in diverse employment roles across the field of social work. Some include experience working in inpatient psychiatry, medicine, hospice, and dialysis at a community hospital, and mobile crisis clinician with a community mental health agency; and finally VA Health Care. I take pride in my ability to connect with others and help them meet personal and/or professional goals. In my spare time, I love to read psychological thrillers, listen to my favorite podcasts and audiobooks, play Match 3D on my phone, and watch movies with my son.
In our first session, I want to get to know you. I strive to understand your strengths, concerns, and goals.
I thrive on my ability to connect and partner with clients to give them the effective tools to navigate life's challenges. I use active listening and understand the benefits of building rapport with my clients.
I am best positioned to serve those clients who are seeking to care to improve and/or enhance their life, health, and mental well-being
I have had success in helping clients change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
I encourage clients to discuss their feelings, concerns, and problems in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
I have assisted couples in increasing their understanding, respect, affection, and intimacy with each other.
I have experience with encouraging clients to express change talk as the pathway to change
I provide clients with information and support to better understand and cope with mental illness

Ms. Ellecia is my “Go To” therapist because she is solution oriented and easy to talk too. I find that it helps me to grow and feel better when I can lay my truths on the table with her, and she does not make me feel like I am being dramatic about things.

Ellecia is a great counselor! She actively listens and responds in a way that I know I've been heard. She remembers key details and congratulates me when I've made progress or when I notice things about myself. I look forward to meeting with her and it's like having a chat session with a close friend.
