Ellen Grosh, MD
Psychotherapist and Psychiatrist 

My Practice

I work with people who wish to change their lives through psychotherapy.  Treatment begins with a two to three session evaluation. All sessions are 45 minutes long. Having a good working relationship is essential to the success of psychotherapy, so the first few meetings allow us to see if we work well together. After our first few meetings we will begin to understand more about what is troubling you, begin to learn more about why and decide on how often we should meet, typically one to three times each week.

I also work with parents of children and adolescents through meetings for parent guidance.  I strive to help parents understand their children better as well as explore how a parent's own experience of being parented affects their relationship with their child. I am a facilitator for Circle of Security Parenting, a reflective parenting program helping parents develop secure attachment relationships with their children.

I do not prescribe medication at this time.  If patients wish to explore starting psychiatric medications, I support them in finding a prescriber.

Payment

I accept payment privately or through insurance. Please contact me for current rates. I participate with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans, Blue Care Network, Priority Health, Health Alliance Plan (HAP) and Aetna and will bill those insurances for you. If you wish to seek reimbursement from an insurance I do not participate with, I will give you an itemized receipt for submission.
