Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
I first got my start in ministry working as a worship leader and musician, and later in the private and public schools as a teacher. These experiences opened my eyes to the need for people of all ages to find healing through difficult experiences. My therapy career began in the private practice setting and then I worked at a clinic as a child and family therapist for several years before starting my own practice. My specialization and training is in working with couples, kids and families and individuals. Currently, I'm an EMDR certified therapist which is one of the best evidence based trauma recovery models for those wanting to move through painful experiences and find healing from trauma. My goal is to walk with you on the healing journey and help you understand how to have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
**Not currently accepting new clients** You've done the talk therapy thing before, but still feel like something is missing. On the outside, it looks like you have made it and people remind you of how far you have come. But then, there seems to be an emptiness inside of you—either from being overwhelmed or numbed out by your emotions. You are constantly giving 110% of yourself to your relationships, even though no one else seems to put that same effort into you. It has depleted you, exhausted you. There are things from your own past that need to be confronted, but it was always easier for you to bury yourself in others' problems. Not anymore, now it is time for a change. It is time for you to put yourself first and to align your emotions, mind, and body. It can be scary to look inwards for healing, and I can be your therapist to walk with you on this journey. My approach to therapy is emotionally-focused, attachment-based, and trauma-informed. If you are ready to put yourself first, please call or email me to set up a free 30-minute consultation.
