Meet Leigh Ellen
I have been a child therapist for nearly 20 years. I started my career at a nonprofit counseling organization providing counseling to child victims of crime, most notably child sexual abuse. That work helped me become knowledgeable in two specific areas of child development: child behaviors and healthy sexual development.
In 2012, I founded a private practice, Growth Therapy, and in 2015, I co-founded a group practice, Athens Center for Counseling and Play Therapy. During Covid, I was reminded that most families can use support, not just families with abuse or significant traumas. In early 2021, I added a parent coaching practice to support parents who may not feel like their children need therapy but would like an expert to consult with about ways they can best support their children at home.
