Shani Ellis-Alman

I work primarily with adults 18 years and older. I support people with a wide range of concerns, from mental health to mental wellness, substance use, self esteem, goal setting and racial trauma. I prioritize cultural safety and am able to support diverse clients in a culturally safe an affirming manner. I have been trained in CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, use of Afrocentric theory, Cultural Safety and Concurrent disorders, to name some. I provide whole person care to my clients, meeting them where they are at, helping to address areas they identify that are of concern or causing problems in their lives and ability to achieve happiness. Finding the right clinician is so important, someone who you are willing to open up to, someone you can be vulnerable with, someone who you feel will understand and hold value to your experiences. On this journey, I bring openness, humility, empathy and genuineness- never judgement.
