Pamela Elliott

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

"My philosophy towards therapy, and, being a therapist, can be put this way...You can create change in your life. You can overcome difficult and even seemingly overwhelming obstacles. The first step is to believe that you are worthy of a better life no matter what the present situation tells you. The next step is to accept that, 'Life is a Journey'. I think there is incredible wisdom and hope in those four words; a journey is on-going and life gives you the opportunity to change direction anytime you truly want to! I believe we all have the ability to make things better for ourselves. Sometimes we just need a little help figuring out how to start." 

Pamela has been a practicing therapist for over 30 years and uses a holistic approach to address her client's issues. She is also a Level II EMDR facilitator.

She received her Master of Science in Education, in 1986, from Illinois State University. In 1992, she was recognized as a National Certified Counselor (NCC), by the National Board for Certified Counselors. Pamela holds an active Illinois State License as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (#180.004957)

During my 20+ years of experience in this community I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families with a variety of issues and in a variety of settings.  No matter what the age or what the issue I have found that most people have the ability to cope with life when they have the support they need. What I love most about being a therapist is seeing how positive changes in one person have a ripple effect in their family and community. We are truly all connected.   I believe my non-threatening down -to- earth support, optimism, and problem-solving skills are my greatest therapy strengths.  I would love the opportunity to listen to you and help you uncover the strengths you need to live life to the fullest.   

Kathy received a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Illinois State University in 1994 and has been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois since 1996.  She has been trained in numerous techniques including play therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) and BrainPaint EEG Biofeedback.

Before I was a therapist, I was an educator. Among other courses, I taught Crisis Communication in the Police and Fire Safety Academy and volunteered with an on-campus crisis center. My job was to teach first responders how to get important information from potentially traumatized witnesses/victims, and I often wondered what I would do if I were permitted to see the crisis through. What would I do if I were the therapist who assisted this person— start to finish—in recovering from a life-altering event? 

When I accepted a faculty position in the Department of Communication at Illinois State University, I decided to find out. I earned another Master's Degree in Psychology. I believe that it is my combination of a solid background in communication—which includes relationships, gender-speak, assertiveness and self-talk—along with my education in Clinical Psychology and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor certification that provides for a well-balanced approach to individual counseling.

My clients—though they often have very difficult circumstances to overcome—are most often wonderful people in difficult situations. They inspire me. When I see the healing, when I see the insight, when I see the answer with the client, I am humbled and grateful for the therapeutic relationship. And, I love the "happily ever afters."

Many humans suffer from emotional distress and psychological symptoms due to aversive life events. Often times, negative experiences can become “stuck” in our brains impacting how we perceive ourselves, others, or the world. Our beliefs about ourselves can become skewed and negative. As a trauma-trained therapist, I can help you work through these past events and shift these beliefs in order to be able to live the life YOU want to live.

By building a safe and trusting foundation, we can work together to build confidence in recognizing what is within our control to overcome negative behaviors and emotions. We will work to identify several different skills to help manage and decrease heightened emotions and symptoms.

Prior to joining Elliott Counseling Services, I have provided therapy for a wide range of ages from varying socioeconomic backgrounds. Working as an outreach counselor as well as a crisis intervention therapist, I have assisted individuals facing many different challenges such as depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), eating disorders, mood disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), and various other behavioral problems. I graduated Chi Sigma Iota from the University of Illinois Springfield in 2013 receiving my Master of Arts in Human Development Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (#180.011726) for the State of Illinois.

Pain is a part of life; we do not get to choose whether or not we have this experience. However, suffering with pain is a choice. It is my primary therapeutic focus to help people recognize and decrease their suffering by building a life they see as worth living – to increase a sense of meaning and purpose, and to increase confidence in one’s ability to cope with struggles. I provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for people to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, the circumstances bringing them to counseling, and what they want out of life. I guide people to build upon their strengths and set goals to make changes that line up with how they want to live. We can experience joy and live to the fullest despite difficulties we may be facing. 

Prior to working at ECS, I worked in community mental health and substance use treatment settings. These experiences provided me with the specialized skills to help people of all ages with a wide variety of mental health disorders and life changes. My areas of experience include depression, anxiety, anger issues, trauma, borderline personality disorder, addictions, stress-management, self-harm, relationship issues, low self-esteem, parenting, OCD, and life transitions/adjustments.

We are often taught to deal with life’s challenges by just “getting over it”. Your feelings aren’t a problem you’re supposed to ignore or fix. They’re feedback from your body about how you’re doing and what you need in life. It is ok to tell people that you are struggling or are having a hard time. Finding a safe person to share your difficult feelings with is hard. This is why it is important for me to create a safe and welcoming environment where you are free to be yourself without judgment.

Prior to working at Elliott, I worked several years in community agencies providing counseling to those of all ages. Some areas of experience include but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), other trauma related issues, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), relationship issues, mood disorders, self-harming behaviors, personality disorders, adoption, life transitions, divorce, grief/loss, self-esteem, sexual abuse, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).

I use a person-centered approach to help assist you in coping with life’s challenges. I utilize a combination of techniques from the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused, Solutions Focused, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I enjoy connecting with individual clients from teens/young adults to the elderly. I am down-to-earth, compassionate and open to helping others through the counseling process. I have been working in the counseling field since 2012 and received my Masters Degree in counseling from Northern Illinois University in 2013. I continue to further my education in the areas of trauma and other mental health issues that are relevant within the work I do with clients.

Carl Rogers said, "the curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."

I work with clients not only to identify what they liked to change in their lives but also accept themselves and extend self-compassion. Looking at family history, typical reactions, and relationships can tell us a lot about ourselves. I have worked with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse as well as more everyday concerns like coping with stress, managing transitions, and coping with life disappointments. I draw from mindfulness, self-compassion, cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and acceptance/commitment therapy models. I aim to be adaptive and collaborative throughout the therapeutic process to help you work towards your goals and the changes you wish to make in your life.

I earned my BA in social sciences education from Illinois State University and my MA in clinical mental health counseling from Adams State University. I have spent over 10 years working in higher education, including college counseling and mental health education. In my work with Elliott Counseling Services, I work with clients of all ages with a strong interest in working with teens and young adults. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Illinois and a National Certified Counselor.

We are all in this journey of self-discovery and change. Whether you have been to counseling before or are considering it for the first time, I hope you take this courageous first step to begin to re-write your story in a way that helps you achieve your life goals.

Stress is an inevitable facet of life which impacts each of us differently. Therapy is a great way to relieve stress, identify solutions, and move forward in our lives. I believe our mission in therapy is to cultivate a space in which we can safely explore your struggles at an individualized pace. Through exploration, we can begin to address your needs, identify healthier ways to cope, and help you to continue leading a productive and healthy lifestyle.

I am primarily an eclectic therapist - meaning that I take from a myriad of therapeutic approaches and combine them to best meet the needs of my clients. Some of my favorite and most utilized approaches include: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, Existential, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.

Prior to Elliott Counseling Services, I served as a community mental health counselor for several years working with clients of various demographics and backgrounds. I've successfully aided people with a variety of mental health disorders including (but not limited to): Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Adjustment Disorder(s).

I received my Master of Science in Clinical-Counseling Psychology in 2018 from Illinois State University. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (180.013747) in the state of Illinois. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two cats, playing guitar/drums, and rock climbing.

We all deserve the space to explore our inner selves and I am humbled for the opportunity to help guide my clients' journeys forward. Talking about our problems is never easy, so I have the utmost respect for clients who allow me into their worlds.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who believes in holism and working with the entire person within the context of their life.  I recognize that our society generally views mental illness as an internal problem, which ignores how our social support, culture, workplace, and family of origin contribute to mental wellness.  In addition, I understand how systemic racism, sexism, and heteronormativity are traumatic experiences and lead to constant feelings of stress. 

While we all have unique patterns in the way our brains work, those external factors are just as important to our growth and healing journey.  I like working with this “big picture” to find the solutions that you need.  I use an eclectic approach in counseling, pulling from techniques such as person-centered, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, Bowen family therapy, behaviorism, and solution-focused therapy.  I have specific experience working with adults and children with a variety of presenting concerns, LGBTQ+ youth, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, and complex trauma.  I have a flexible schedule and can work evenings and weekends as needed.
