Hi, I’m Ella!
My name is Ella Smith (She/Her). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) born and raised in Queens, NY. From a young age, I have always been fascinated by human behavior, relationships, and their intricacies. My interest expanded as I got older and realized the prevalence of anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health related ailments within my community that often went ignored and masked with unhealthy coping patterns. Although acceptance of mental health and its importance has become more mainstream, In communities of color, the topic of mental health continues to be taboo and viewed in a negative light. I would like to change that.
