Maret Ellington, MSW, LCSWA (she/her)

Hello! My name is Maret, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (P019262) and serve as an outpatient therapist here at Greenwood Psychotherapy. I see clients both virtually through telehealth and in person at Greenwood's Raleigh office location.

I attended UNC Wilmington for my undergraduate studies in Sociology and French, and then obtained a Master of Social Work at NC State (go pack!). My undergraduate studies nurtured my passion for human rights, advocacy, and equity. I believe each of us deserves wellness and safety, & it is such an honor to provide the space for healing, comfort, self-expression, and exploration.

My practice utilizes a strengths-based approach rooted in empathy & compassion. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness/somatic interventions. My aim is to empower my clients as they envision and achieve their goals towards their well-being.

If you are experiencing big life changes, stressful events, dealing with anxiety or depression, self-doubt, self-judgment, or if you're having a hard time managing emotions, maintaining healthy boundaries, or navigating relationships, I am a good fit for you.

If you have unresolved childhood trauma, have recently experienced a trauma, or have had ongoing trauma at any point in your life, my practice is trauma-informed, and there is a path of healing for you in our work together. Thank you for being here :-)
