Ellie Mourey
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
LMFT# 151797
Welcome to Paxwell Child & Family Therapy! ​My name is Ellie, and my emphasis is in working with preteens, teens, college students, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, academic pressure, social stress, emotional challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients are also working through conflict in their relationships — whether it’s tension with family, friends, or partners, or difficulty feeling connected and building a trusted support system. I take a warm, collaborative
approach and tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs. A big part of my work includes helping clients better understand and relate to their emotions through mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe to explore, grow, and build the tools you need to navigate life. Outside of therapy, I’m always learning and growing so I can provide the best care possible.
How I Can Support You
Whether you’re a young person struggling with big emotions or a parent seeking support for your child, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and a greater sense of clarity and confidence.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I take an integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and attachment-focused, relational techniques to create a plan that fits your unique needs.
With pre-teens and teens, I use developmentally appropriate and engaging methods to help them better understand their emotions, manage anxiety, build emotional regulation skills, and grow in self-confidence.
For college students and young adults, our work often centers around developing healthy coping tools, navigating anxiety, managing academic/occupational, social, or performance-based stress, building confidence, and improving communication and relationships.
For young couples, I help partners strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and adjust to new seasons in their relationship—whether you’re dating, engaged, or newly married.
Throughout our work together, I’ll tailor sessions to your personality, preferences, and goals.
Let's work together to bring calm and clarity into your life.
