As an Afro-Latino male in today’s political climate I struggled with imposter syndrome, victim-mentality, and general anger. It feels good to know my therapists are also professors at a social justice university.
Genuine understanding and uplifting! Its great to have a black doctor who aims to heal and not medicate. I would recommend to anyone.
Everyone needs a Dr. Ellis in their life. If you want a person that is compassionate cheerleader of your well-being, I would suggest giving her a try!
I can’t recommend Dr. Ellis enough! She is incredibly compassionate, insightful, and truly listens without judgment. Her guidance has helped me navigate challenges with clarity and confidence, and she creates a safe space where I feel heard and understood. Each session leaves me with practical tools and a greater sense of peace. If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and makes a difference, Dr. Ellis is the one!
She is the best. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.
So at first I was really skeptical about finding a new therapist because I'd been with my prior therapist for years. However, a move forced me to go out my comfort zone and I honestly feel so grateful that I was able to find another practitioner who is empathetic but not enabling. I was able to quickly feel comfortable working with Dr. Robinson - Ellis and that's all due to not only her professionalism but her warm spirit/energy. I know finding the right therapist can be such a churn but I encourage you to consider this practice and Dr. Robinson - Ellis.
I enjoy services with Dr. Ellis. She is relatable and makes me feel safe . I enjoy the connection. I’m a black woman here and I find it so difficult to get mental health services from people who don’t look like me. The bonus is it’s a black woman owned and I am so glad to have found Be Rooted Therapy! Thank you
Dr. Ellis is truly one of a kind! Uplifting, empowering, and extremely sharp.
Be Rooted Therapy is definitely a service you should use! Dr. Ellis is an amazing listener, she guides and gives the advice you need when you need it!
