A Thriving Place Therapists


Aubs Ellison, LMSW (They/She)

Co-Owner & Clinical Therapist

Aubree Ellison. Aubs Ellison.

As a queer, gender queer/nonbinary, black, goofy, baddie in a bigger body, I know the impact a safe space can have. Especially in a time where being “different” corresponds with exclusion and erasure. This is where therapy can be effective in unraveling the chaos and provide a respite for you to catch your breath, find your voice, and feel affirmed to stand in your power. Though uncertainty and change can be challenging, and vulnerability feel scary in this circumstance; I am here to walk alongside you and provide a space to create intentional, effective, and long-lasting change

I have had the honor of belonging too and working with a wide range of populations and ages, providing a depth of knowledge in adoption, LGBTQ issues/exploration, domestic violence, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, sexual assault, PTSD, kink affirming care, and sex work.

It is through these experiences that has fueled my passion for creating an accessible and comfortable environment, where you are able to explore your true authentic self and anything you come with, without judgment.
