“She exceeded my expectations. At 51, I’ve seen various therapists over the years to navigate life changes, but this time I felt unbalanced and confused. From our first meeting, I sensed that Jo Ellen would make a significant impact, and she truly did. She quickly identified the blocks I was facing and provided me with effective tools that allowed me to find peace in just a few weeks instead of months. She gets straight to the point while creating a safe environment that lets you be your true self. I also appreciated that I didn’t have to dive deep into my trauma. With her guidance, I could see it more clearly and move forward right away.”

“Since I have been seeing you, life is literally 100% better. I got a new job. My life is doing a 180. I want to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. You are a wonderful, beautiful person. I am dead honest when I say, I could not have done this without you. Life is going on a better path now and it’s all because of you.”

“It's been a while since we last spoke. I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing well and that life is great for me. I have turned things around for myself in a big positive way. I just would like to thank you for being one of the reasons I have decided to make changes in my lifestyle. Knowing my triggers and how to work through them have really helped me from a lot of poor choices I could have made. Thank you for being such a great soul not only in life, but in your work as well.”

“Class was amazingly good. From the intense start to a joyful finish, she did a fabulous job. I wish it had been filmed for other counselors to see how a class should be conducted. Thank you so much for making this miserable life event tolerable, if not enjoyable.”

“I am a recent graduate of the DV program instructed by Jo Ellen. She takes genuine interest in all clients enrolled in her classes. Clients not only learn from her expertise, but also gain insight and learn from each other.”
