Ellenhorn

A Community Treatment (PACT) team providing comprehensive, individualized and multidisciplinary psychiatric and psychosocial services

Ellenhorn is an effective alternative to long-term residential care, delivering intensive and individualized multidisciplinary services. We have three locations: Boston, Los Angeles, and New York City. For clients who are local to Boston or initially need more structure, we offer our innovative residential setting. As an evidence-based Program for Assertive Community Team (PACT), we have a high su

ccess rate with difficult cases that present co-occurring medical, substance misuse or complex psychiatric issues, and with clients who don’t fit into traditional residential programs. Our treatment approach combines psychosocial rehabilitation, medical/psychiatric care, and a focus on physical wellness. From day one, we work toward the client’s reintegration into the community, re-engagement with life, and rediscovery of a sense of purpose and hope. We believe that staying connected to the world is central to an individual getting better. Aside from psychosocial support, robust psychiatric care, vocational counseling, nursing, and non-pharmacological therapies, we provide direct support for our clients in regards to activities of daily living. As a PACT program, Ellenhorn is a “single source” model of treatment. Instead of providing only one component of a person’s treatment and referring-out for other services, we offer a full range of rehabilitation and treatment resources delivered by a multidisciplinary team. In this integrated approach to services, the “whole person,” rather than a cluster of symptoms is treated. SUPPORT INCLUDES:
Psychiatry/Psychopharmacology
Open Dialogue for Psychosis
Mentalized Based Therapy (MBT)
Wellness Coaching
Social Rhythms Therapy
Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment (IDDT) for Substance Use
Community Integration
Psychosocial Rehabilitation
Medication Independence Planning
Transportation to clinical and community appts
Home and Community Based Services

“Mentalization helps clients feel understood, and helps teams stay connected.” — Shelly Simpson, LCSW, Director of AMBIT at Ellenhorn

Join us NEXT WEEK for our virtual AMBIT workshop series! During this workshop, you’ll explore Mentalization not just as a powerful tool for client care, but as a way to strengthen trust and communication within your team.

If you are:
- in private practice
- working with complex clients
- supervising clinicians
- working on an interdisciplinary team,
- or leading one
this workshop is for you.

In this video, Shelly shares why this approach matters, and what you'll walk away with, even if AMBIT and Mentalization are brand new to you.

Connection heals, and the science proves it. In a world where isolation is on the rise, especially for those navigating mental health challenges, meaningful connection isn’t just comforting - it’s life-saving. In our latest blog, we explore the powerful research linking social ties to emotional well-being and even longevity, and share how Ellenhorn’s community-based approach puts this truth into practice every day. With outcomes data to back it up, this piece makes the case for why connection should be at the center of care - not a byproduct of it.

Are We Diagnosing Disconnection?
June 5, 2025 | 1 PM EST | Virtual via TPN Health

Mental health care often zeroes in on therapy, medication, and hospitalization. But what if these interventions, while well-intentioned, are reinforcing the very barriers that keep people isolated?

On June 5, join Dr. Jon Stevens, Lakewood Center Medical Director, and Dr. Ross Ellenhorn, Ellenhorn Founder & CEO, for a thought-provoking, no-cost CE event exploring whether systems of care are unintentionally contributing to the disconnection they aim to treat.

Together, they’ll examine:
- How systemic barriers in care may keep clients stuck
- The role of "third spaces" in fostering healing and social connection
- What it means to reimagine treatment through a sociological, not just psychiatric, lens

This conversation goes beyond lecture, offering practical insight for clinicians committed to more human-centered, connected care.
