Ellen S Leventhal

With a practice built around the art of being truly known by the people who matter most, Ellen S. Leventhal has dedicated her work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist to one persistent human problem: the gap between how we feel inside and how we come across to those we love. Her training and experience span a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and mood disorders to eating disorders, abuse recovery, and the particular pressures that surface in family life across every stage — childhood, adolescence, aging, and everything between.

Ellen works with individuals, couples, and families in Massachusetts, offering online sessions that make consistent care accessible. She helps children, teenagers, adults, and older clients untangle the patterns that keep relationships stuck — the misread signals, the circular arguments, the quiet distance that grows when two people stop feeling heard. Someone who sends dozens of texts a day but still goes to bed feeling completely unknown by their partner will recognize exactly what Ellen addresses in her work.

Her approach centers on communication and cooperation as the path toward genuine closeness. Whether a client is navigating a career transition, recovering from loss, or trying to repair a relationship that has drifted, Ellen’s goal is the same: help people understand each other better and resolve their differences with respect and care.
