Ellen C. Pace, LMFT,

LPC, LCDC, EMDR Certified, Equine-Assisted Therapist

Hello. I am Ellen Pace and I have made Austin home for the last 30 years. After graduating from University of Texas-Austin, an advertising career, and being a full time mom, I pursued my interests and received a Masters of Arts in Counseling from Saint Edwards University as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). My experience includes work with individuals and families struggling with relationships, unresolved childhood trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction and PTSD. I have a warm, non-judgmental and compassionate approach, but do challenge my clients as we work through issues in a collaborative, person-centered way. I strive to build trusting relationships with each client enabling him or her to feel safe and heard. My mission is to be a professional, high quality, and effective psychotherapy practice offered in both Office and Equine Facilitated settings in the Austin, Texas area.


I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.
