✨ Staff Spotlight: Ellen Beward, LCSW ✨

Ellen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, teens, and adults, specializing in trauma-focused care. She has experience using play therapy, CBT, and TF-CBT, allowing her to tailor her approach to each client’s age, needs, and comfort level. Whether she’s helping a child express themselves through play or supporting an adult in processing past experiences, Ellen meets clients exactly where they are and moves at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Her approach is rooted in connection. Ellen prioritizes building strong, trusting relationships and creates a space that feels warm, welcoming, and judgment-free—like sitting with someone who truly understands, listens deeply, and offers genuine support.
Ellen is especially passionate about working with trauma and feels privileged to be part of her clients’ healing journeys. She gently helps clients navigate and process their stories while building coping skills, resilience, and a sense of empowerment along the way.

She brings empathy, authenticity, and a calming presence into every session—helping clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they work toward meaningful growth and healing 💛

Happy National Social Work Month 🤍
This month (and every month), we recognize the dedication, empathy, and heart it takes to be a social worker. The work isn’t always easy—but it is always meaningful.
Here’s to creating safe spaces, fostering growth, and reminding people they’re never alone.

🌿 Staff Spotlight: Welcome Barbara Burton, LSW! 🌿

We’re so excited to introduce one of the newest members of the Wellspring team, Barbara Burton, LSW!

Barbara began her career working in Children & Youth Services (CYS) and crisis intervention, where she supported individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult moments. From early on, she knew she wanted to become a therapist—and today, she truly feels like she’s living her dream.

Barbara is especially passionate about working with individuals who have experienced abuse and trauma. Her time working in custody and crisis settings deeply shaped her commitment to supporting this population with compassion, safety, and understanding. She also enjoys working with children, teens, adolescents, and adults, meeting each client where they are with warmth and authenticity.

In her practice, Barbara utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) lens and incorporates Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. Her approach is empathetic, honest, and real—creating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they work toward healing and growth.

Barbara is currently accepting Optum, Aetna, Capital Blue Cross, Geisinger, and self-pay clients.

If you’re looking for a therapist who brings heart, experience, and genuine care into every session, Barbara would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
