Ellen Ledley, LCSW
For over 20 years, I’ve worked with survivors of abuse: San Monica sexual assault, San Monica domestic violence, child sexual, physical and emotional abuse. My interest in trauma led me to become trained and certified in EMDR, which I’ve been using in my practice since l994. I’m also trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-oriented Santa Monica psychotherapy approach to working with both shock and developmental trauma, focusing on regulating the nervous system.
I’ve developed a specialty in working with couples, both straight and gay. I’ve worked with many parents and their adult children, facilitating healing of past hurts and estrangements. I’ve always been interested in how people navigate diversity in themselves and their relationships.
I’ve also incorporated my yoga practice and Buddhist meditation practice into my work.
