Ellie Poulin, LMFT
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Licensed Psychologist

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Mansoureh “Ellie” Poulin, LMFT50537) and a Certified Expressive Arts Therapist. I provide guidance and support in living mindfully and consciously choosing actions that will support your goals. I use an active, pragmatic approach to facilitate insight and teach skills to improve functioning and create inner calm and contentment. I have experience in working with life issues such as identity development, marriage, parenting, stress management, diversity issues, grief and loss, divorce, and other major life transitions. The therapeutic approaches that I use are evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Expressive Arts Therapy.

Clinical Experience

My clinical background includes experience in a variety of settings with children, teens, women’s issues, grief and loss, and trauma. I have helped individuals work through a variety of issues such depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), high functioning autism, and improving relationship functioning. I specialize in helping individuals who are experiencing sadness, hopelessness, irritability, difficulty with weight management, and low self-esteem. I also have experience working with children and teens who struggle with social skills, sadness, fearfulness, sleep problems, and difficulty with focus, concentration, and academic problems, including depression, anxiety and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Unfortunately, we will all be impacted by a significant loss at some point in our life. I’ve helped individuals to process their grief and make sense of life after a significant loss.
