MEET ELLEN MCCORMACK, LMFT

Hello! Let me tell you a little about myself.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples improve their mental health and their relationships. Whether you meet me in person in Culver City, or online from anywhere in California, you’ll find that my therapy style is warm and compassionate (with just a touch of occasional humor). In a typical session with me, we might start out with a general check-in, then move on to address your goals, then end with a plan for what’s next. I believe that therapy should move you forward in life, and I strive to make each session feel productive and meaningful.

I’ve been in the mental health field since 2011, and while I’ve worked in many settings and with a great diversity of clients, I've always been captivated by the profound power of relationships. Strong connections can uplift us, while strained ones can weigh us down. I center relational health in all my work with clients, so if you’re interested in deepening your connection to your partner, or overcoming something inside you that makes it hard to trust and love, then I’m the therapist for you.

I also have a special place in my heart for people coping with major depression, trauma, and eating disorders. These issues can rob us of joy, and take a heavy toll on the ones we love. I believe in the power of recovery, and that no one is beyond saving.

More personally, I’d like to share that I’m a native Angelino, a reader, a coffee addict, and a Law & Order SVU aficionado. I’m a daughter, mother, sister, and friend. I’m an artist, a traveler, and an athlete. I’m a cys, het, white woman who believes in the importance of centering disadvantaged voices. I believe that each person’s identity and story are unique and important, and I hope that by sharing a bit about me here, it will help you feel comfortable telling me a bit about yourself should we ever meet.
