Ellen Walker PhD

As a clinical psychologist, I, Dr. Ellen Walker, am dedicated to providing a supportive and solution-focused approach to help individuals overcome their challenges. With over three decades of experience, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, ages, and circumstances. My journey in the field of psychology began in 1983, when I started volunteering as a telephone crisis counselor in Jackson, Mississippi, and later in Tokyo, Japan.

Practice Philosophy

My approach is centered on empowerment, education, and inspiration. I believe that every individual possesses unique strengths and resources that can be leveraged to overcome life's challenges. As a solution-focused therapist, I am committed to working closely with clients to identify practical solutions and coping strategies to address their concerns. Through our collaborative efforts, I strive to help clients develop a greater understanding of how past and current experiences influence their emotions and behaviors.

Clinical Training and Licensure

I earned my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1986. I later completed my Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology at Seattle Pacific University in 2000. I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Washington and a member of the American Psychological Association (APA). To stay current with the latest research and best practices, I complete a minimum of sixty hours of continuing education every three years.

Telepsychology and Online Assessments

As a clinical psychologist, I provide a range of services, including:

• Psychological Assessments: I offer comprehensive psychological assessments for individuals seeking diagnoses or evaluations for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or other mental health concerns.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I provide CBT sessions to help clients manage anxiety, stress, depression, and ADHD-related symptoms.
• Coaching and Support: I offer coaching and support services to individuals seeking to achieve specific goals, such as weight management, academic success, or wellness initiatives.
• Disability Determination and Documentation: I provide documentation and recommendations for individuals seeking accommodations in school, testing, or work settings.
