Rev. Schipul is an expert in her craft. She breaks things down so you really understand the “why” behind what you’re doing. I’ve never clicked so fast with a therapist. I would recommend her a thousand times over. She makes you feel so comfortable and never judged. She puts you in control of every session and teaches you how to basically become your own therapist! She’s the absolute best!

If you are looking for an eclectic therapist who truly listens with an open mind, creates meaningful dialogue with the intention of self exploration and has a large ‘toolbox’ with evidence-based resources, then I would be honored to be considered. Over the years I have discovered true emotional healing and a holistic view of Self come from creating bridges between the Mind (thoughts and habits), Body (feelings and intuitions) and Spirit (a person’s connection with something greater than themselves by Whatever Name). I feel the intentional life lived along with over15 years of therapeutic experience and 18 years as an ordained Interfaith Minister provides a well rounded background to guide Clients into a true balance of Mind, Body and Spirit. As a Pastoral Counselor and student of non-traditional spiritual wisdom from ancient and indigenous teachings to New Age or Thought practices, we can integrate your own spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process as needed or desired. The primary Therapeutic model I use is Internal Family Systems (IFS) and because of the extensive training received, I am considered an IFS Informed Therapist by the IFS Institute. Other primarytherapeutic tools used are, Mindfulness, Focusing, CBT, and Mindful Parenting.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

So far, I feel comfortable exposing my inner feelings and emotions. I think Rev. Shipul offers a safe, non judgmental environment to do that.
Rev. Schipul was a pleasure to receive support from for the short time I was able to receive her services. She met me exactly where I was and gave me strategies that I could immediately put to use to help me respond rather than react to stressful situations in my personal and professional life. She is patient, warm, knowledgeable and shares useful resources. It was a pleasure.
She's wonderful. I have been with her for almost two years now and she has seen me thru my darkest time .
She is so kind and keeps me in a safe place while in our sessions. She makes it so easy to be in a vulnerable yet safe space. Thank you so much.
Ellen really cares about her patients, she is attentive to detail and focuses on my needs. I know that she is always there and ready if I need her. She truly is the definition of “a big hug”. I look forward to talking with her every week.
Rev. Schipul has been my therapist since 2022. Since engaging in therapy, she has made me feel much lighter and she has given me the tools to process my thoughts and emotions and recognize day to day triggers. She has also helped me set appropriate boundaries. Her style allows me to freely discuss what is on my mind and she ensures I leave each session with takeaways and tools to improve my well-being.
Thanks for your help. It has really helped me.
Ellen is a warm hearted, conscientious person who understands what it means to have struggles, and that sometimes all we need is a shoulder to cry on, while other times we need to be aware of changes; she shifts gears as needed imperceptibly. Safe and strong support through good and bad times. She's like a hug!
I have just begun therapy with Rev. Schipul and feel supported as I work through a transitional phase in my life. Feeling heard and understood without judgement or rejection is helping me to move forward. I am dealing with issues in myself that have been buried for decades. Things are making sense to me in a new way and Rev. Schipul has already played an important role in that process.
Couldn't have had a better match for my current needs. Things don't happen by chance in deed!
Rev. Schipul has helped me work through a number of issues (present and past). She really listens to me and offers excellent advice and guidance. I always feel heard and supported in our sessions.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from a therapy, but feel very at ease talking with Ellen.
I highly recommend
