Ellis Nicolson

Whether someone is carrying the weight of a troubled marriage, navigating the aftermath of abuse, or struggling with anxiety that follows them from the moment they wake up and check their phone, Ellis Nicolson meets clients where they are. Working as a Registered Psychotherapist in Mississauga, Ontario, Ellis works with teenagers, adults, and elderly individuals — alongside couples and families — across a range of concerns that include mood and depressive disorders, eating disorders, and the long reach of emotional, physical, and domestic abuse.

Couples work sits at the heart of Ellis’s practice. The approach draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy, a method developed by Canadian psychologist Dr. Sue Johnson and grounded in attachment science. The goal is to help partners step out of the cycles pulling them apart — too much conflict, lost intimacy, eroded friendship — and learn to reach for each other again. This includes support through infidelity, separation decisions, coparenting, and family-of-origin patterns that quietly shape adult relationships.

Ellis also brings a Christian counselling perspective for those seeking care that integrates their faith. Sessions are available online, making it possible to connect from wherever life has you right now.
