Ellen is really wonderful, she's my favourite therapist to date (I've had many, haha). She asks good questions and challenges me to look deeper when it might not be the comfortable thing to do. She's open minded and kind, it's easy to talk to her. I have been seeing her for a while and my partner thinks I've become more confident, self aware and less anxious. Highly recommend! Thank you Ellen

Ellen has been excellent to work with. She responds quickly to any questions or concerns and follows up to see how I am doing. Our sessions have been great and allowed me to reach the goals I set for my therapy. She is extremely knowledgeable and caring but provides worthwhile insights to move forward.

Ellen is a true professional!! She is exactly what I had been looking for in a therapist. She is understanding, asks questions to get a true understanding of my experiences, and actually makes me laugh. I leave her sessions feeling more informed, empowered, and like I am making true progress.

Ellen was amazing! She helped me navigate a difficult stage of life, and I am so grateful for her empathy and her objective insight. Additionally, my general experience with teencounseling.com was extremely positive. My therapist was a great match. The teencounseling.com platform was simple and easy to use. I would 100% recommend teencounseling.com (and Ellen Savage) to anyone needing to find a therapist.

Easy to work with so far. I appreciate how she listens.

Written on Mar 25, 2023 after therapy with Ellen for 2 months on issues concerning family conflicts, and coping with life changes

Ellen has been an incredible asset for my personal development. She is up-front and honest and will respectfully tell you how it is instead of just telling you what you want to hear. She has helped me make huge strides in my relationships, career and personal development, and has given me tools to dive deeper into the areas of my personality and past that are holding me back. She is an excellent active listener, asking clarifying questions along the way, which makes you feel incredibly heard and understood in a way that is difficult to find these days. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone who is truly looking to grow and learn, and not just looking for someone to give them kind words and a pat on the back.

Ellen was extremely helpful and kind to me during each of our sessions. She was forward with me and helped me to resolve my issues and answer my own questions in a supportive and encouraging manner.
