Introduction

Welcome! I’m Ellen G. Friedman, a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with over two decades of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My journey in mental health began with a passion for guiding people toward healing and personal growth, leading me to specialize in counseling for anxiety, life transitions, and substance use recovery. I offer virtual therapy to clients in New York, Oregon, and South Carolina, providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your concerns, develop resilience, and create meaningful change. Whether you're facing overwhelming stress, relationship struggles, or addiction recovery challenges, I’m here to support you with evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs. Let’s take the next step toward your well-being together.
