About me

My purpose in counseling is to provide encouragement, insight, and guidance to individuals and families so they find resolution and peace.
In addition, I am versed in Grief and loss counseling, developing problem solving skills, gender issues and marriage/couples' counseling.
I am also versed in Veterans issues, having work with all types of Veterans through the VA for 5 years.
I enjoy my work, as you may have noticed, I have been counseling for 31 years.
I typically use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which is an evidenced based therapy for most mental health diagnoses. However, I use other formats of counseling so to better individualize counseling to your needs.
I do understand counseling for some is rather scary, yet I believe you will fast realize that I have compassion and empathy for your issues. That I will be available to help you as often as possible unt l " you feel solid on your own two feet".

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ellen Shafer-Lind. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Ellen has been such a help in such a short amount of time. She is a wonderful listener and asks great questions.

I’ve gone through so many therapists in my life, and many have made me closed off to therapy; so it feels gratifying to finally find a perfect fit. Ellen is one of a kind. She is very nurturing and wise. Her advice is amazing and she’s very open minded. That makes it easier to open up about anything. You can tell there is a lot of love in her heart and she extends that warmth out in her sessions. She’s not biased which is something all of us can appreciate, especially in couples counseling. I would encourage those who are fortunate enough to get her as a therapist, to give her a chance and to those who still haven’t found a good fit, to consider her. I highly recommend her!

Ellen is the best therapist I have worked with on Regain. She is understanding of both sides and VERY responsive, which has been such a game changer for us in therapy. We appreciate her expertise!
