Hello! My name is Ellyssa Daum, PsyD, LMHCA, and I am dedicated to helping adolescents and young adults (ages 13-30) move beyond survival and toward genuine thriving. My practice is built on the concept of 'glimmers'—those micro-moments of safety, joy, or peace that we often overlook. By helping you notice and anchor these glimmers, we build long-term resilience, neuroplasticity, and post-traumatic growth together. Whether you're navigating the complexities of adolescence, managing a hidden disability, or finding your authentic identity, you deserve clinical care that truly understands your unique experience.

What sets my practice apart is the rare intersection of clinical depth and specialized expertise. With my PsyD, I provide evidence-based psychological care grounded in rigorous science. My MA in Sport Psychology allows me to integrate resilience training into therapy, helping you move beyond merely coping toward genuine flourishing. Through my doctoral research and work as Mental Health Coordinator at Camp Blue Spruce, I've developed specialized expertise in the psychosocial impact of severe food allergies and hidden disabilities. I'm committed to creating a neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+ safe space where you can be fully yourself while receiving the highest level of clinical care.

I am a licensed mental health counselor associate (MC.61544070) working toward independent licensure to be a clinical psychologist. Meanwhile, I have a supervisor named Frederick Wang, PsyD, LMHC, who oversees my practice. I am currently credentialed with Premera and Lifewise insurance only.
