Therapist in Bel Air, MD

There is no crisis but your anxiety has you feeling like something is really off.

You know how to think your way through everything and you are known for being smart , but what people don’t see is that you carry around a longing to connect with others. That longing for connection turns into anxiety and it keeps you from feeling safe enough to be yourself.

 You’ve been told that you are too much- you do too much, you need too much, and you think too much.  You believe if you could just get out of your head you'd be happy and not so worried about your relationships and needs.

You are surrounded by loved ones, but you still feel alone

Your family has told you that you are too dramatic (not true at all even though it feels like it), and this has caused you to not want to share your negative feelings with others. You know other people benefit from having you in their lives, but you are still constantly trying to prove your worth to them anyway.

I'm Chenelle Ellie, a black therapist in Bel Air, MD.

I am a therapist who loves helping anxious and smart people get out of their heads, into their bodies and be able to feel love and connection in their life. 

For those with relationship anxiety, we will work together to process those painful memories that keep you feeling stuck so that you can rewrite the narrative in your head. I will help you to get out of your head and into your body, so you are connected with all parts of yourself which will then lead to more trust in your relationships.

Many of my clients experience mother hunger, the kind of unspeakable heartbreak that occurs when you lack a close connection with your mother. This doesn’t necessarily mean that your mother was abusive or even mean to you. You may notice that your bond with your mother is not like what you see with others. You know, that warm, Gilmore Girls kind of bond. Witnessing the close bond with other mothers and daughters can be painful. Mother Hunger can be at the root of your issues. This can be contributing to your difficulty with feeling connected with others. Through my mother hunger group, we will explore how the anxiety leads to loneliness, and how to get your needs met in a way that feels easeful and satisfying.
