Ellie Landowski, MA
Psychotherapist
Clinical expertise in treating adults and groups with behavioral health concerns, including substance use, sexual preoccupation and compulsive sexual behaviors, interpersonal dysfunction, impulsivity, and emotion regulation. Extensive training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Prior to my graduate program, my professional experience included providing respite care for disabled families, volunteering in special education classrooms, working with preschool-aged children with autism spectrum disorder, and working in a community methadone clinic. Throughout my graduate program, I provided group treatment to adults in community supervision and correctional institutions. This career fueled my passion for serving vulnerable and underserved community members. My focuses included sexual offenses, intimate partner violence, emotion regulation, impulsivity, and substance use. Throughout this time, I received supervision from a multidisciplinary team and certifications based in cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I completed my clinical field placement at a state psychiatric hospital and after earning my masters of social work from the University of Wisconsin, I worked as an outpatient substance use disorder social worker for the Veteran's Administration.

Services and Pricing
Why Private Pay is Beneficial for Some Clients?
- Insurance does not cover relational difficulties such as couples and family therapy, they require a DSM-V diagnosis for one of the members. As a fee-for-service provider, I do not have to give you a mental health diagnosis.
- Mental health diagnoses can follow you and be documented on health records and can result in affecting life insurance applications, health insurance applications and other benefits or services.
- Together, we can determine how many times we meet instead of the insurance company making that decision.
- Since a treatment plan, notes and billing information are not being released to an insurance company, a greater amount of confidentiality is in place for you.
