Get to Know Your Therapist

Meet Ellen S. Goldring

For more than 30 years, I’ve supported children, teens and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges.

I offer a caring, child centered and strength based approach that blends creativity and professional expertise to help young people grow and thrive. Using play, art and talk therapy, I help clients express emotions, build resilience, and discover healthy ways to cope. With experience in hospitals, schools, and private practice, I bring an integrated view that considers the child’s environment -family, school and community. I understand the demands of parenting a neurodiverse, disabled or medically ill child and can offer guidance and support.

The world can be a demanding and stressful place for young people. I provide a safe and nurturing space. Most importantly, I strive to make every child feel comfortable, understood, and confident in who they are.
