Hi everyone! My name is Ellie Murphy, and I’m a Licensed Social Worker in the state of Ohio. I’m so glad you are here! I believe therapy should be a space where you can feel safe being yourself, explore what’s on your mind, and feel supported through life’s challenges. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgemental environment where we can build a genuine connection and work together toward growth and healing.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Notre Dame and my Master of Social Work from the University of Denver. Through my clinical experience, I have developed a passion for working with children and adolescents and supporting them as they navigate life’s challenges. While my primary focus is working with children ages 5 and up and teens, I also welcome opportunities to work with adults and families.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own experiences. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Play Therapy to meet each person’s unique needs. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, exploring your identity, healing from past experiences, or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I hope to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered along the way.

Outside of work, I love to spend time curled up on my couch reading a good book, spending time with my friends and sisters, and playing with my roommate's cat, Pretzel!

I’m so excited to be joining the Cincinnati Therapy Center team, and I look forward to connecting with you!
