About

The goal of Ellis Psychological Services is to provide quality culturally driven services that aid in healing and growth so that one may continue to walk in purpose.

We are a team of creative and forward-thinking individuals whose goal is to help our clients heal so they may walk in their purpose.

It is our practice to be with our clients every step of the way of the healing process. Healing is a process – it takes time. It’s a matter of going through the learning process where we learn to unlearn to relearn. It’s like an onion and we are peeling back layers from that onion and you’re learning about yourself – what you like and what you don’t like – and there are so many layers of healing from traumatic experiences, relationship experiences, and childhood experiences. It’s a process so be gentle with yourself!

What Clients Say…

Dr. Tierra was invited to a panel presentation observed for our Black employees to commemorate Mental Health Awareness Month in May 2021. This was our first “Black @“ Mental Health Awareness Month event and she provided very insightful information centered on Black mental health. We appreciated Dr. Tierra sharing culturally relevant and innovative approaches to responding to Black individuals such as incorporatng Hip-Hop into therapy. We especially appreciated her positive energy and contagious enthusiasm! – Dr. Tonya Walker, Chief Medical Officer, Netlix

Dr. Ellis has been my mentor since day one. I am very grateful for the fact that our paths crossed. When I started, we were a very small organization, yet she guided me all along the way. Today, we are a global organization with more than 50 members, and Dr.Ellis has seen us grow. We invited her as our guest speaker and she taught us a new phrase “how is your heart?”, she left a remark on our hearts and made an impact on our lives forever. It was more than just a session, it was a life-changing event. As soon as the session ended, my phone was flooded with texts like “Thank you for inviting her”, “She is so awesome”, etc. I am so truly grateful for Dr.Ellis and everything she has done for me and my organization. – Founder and CEO of the Teen Mental Health Society

We loved Dr. Tierra’s energy! The brothers of the Washington (DC) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. invited Dr. Tierra to speak during our May 2021 mental health awareness month on the topic of Mental Health and Black Men. Dr. Tierra’s energy kept us engaged as well as her content. We loved the way she incorporated hip-hop culture into the presentation! – Bro. Presley Nelson
