Ebony Flaherty
Clinical Director
Licensed Professional Counselor
EMDR & Brainspotting Trained
Eastside Clinic

Ebony works from the belief that mental health comes from feeling more deeply connected to ourselves and to others through the safety of transparent, emotionally honest relationships.
Confronting change can be difficult and leave us feeling off track, without direction, spiraling in a negative vicious circle of ineffective beliefs and patterns of behavior that lead to somatic distress and physical symptoms. During these times our relationships, emotions, and identity can be fragmented and unbalanced. Ebony’s stance is that through the support of a therapeutic relationship, these negative patterns can be challenged to encourage personal growth and live a symptom-free life.
Ebony has 15+ years of experience in the mental health profession helping people in hospital, clinic, and community based settings working with adults and teenagers. To tailor therapy for her clients’ needs, Ebony draws from extensive trainings in EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, ACT, Attachment Theory, Family Systems theory, and mindfulness practices.
Ebony understands that engaging in psychotherapy is a life-altering experience. Sometimes difficult, sometimes fun, requiring a commitment to self acceptance of the many aspects of ourselves. She provides psychotherapy that energizes and helps you to discover a better life for yourself.
