Our Approach
Our therapists believe that the present is inextricably linked to the past. While the circumstances of the current moment do influence how you feel and deserve attention, we believe that past experiences and relationships play an outsized role in how you respond to the now. If the present is the tip of the iceberg, then the past is the much larger part below the surface.
Understanding the reasons and contexts of why you engage in a particular behavior or feel a certain way is essential for real change and growth.
This approach will not only ease your current distress and shift problematic behavior, but it also affords you the opportunity for more. Our therapists prioritize going deeper than your current symptoms to facilitate increased self-understanding, a cohesive and consistent sense of self, more fulfilling relationships, more emotional capacity, and a greater sense of meaning in your life.
We also have training in a range of other therapeutic approaches and techniques, including DBT, mindfulness, EMDR, and brainspotting. We primarily utilize psychodynamic theory—a research-based approach—because it supports the depth of understanding and lasting change that our practice values.

Madeline Elledge, LMHC
Therapist
As an existential therapist, I believe in the innate human drive toward one’s own growth. Understanding our lives in the context of meaning and narrative cultivates space and fluidity within our identities as we move beyond static being and into an open exploration of the never-ending process of becoming.
My intent is to walk with you as we find comfort in the discomfort of uncertainty, learn how to hold opposing truths simultaneously, and suspend the objective as we lean into the richness of your unique subjectivity.
I offer individual, couples, and family therapy. I also provide EMDR therapy.

Jacklyn is the Practice Coordinator at Market Street Psychotherapy and is often the first person prospective patients get to know.

Amanda Seely, MD
Psychiatrist & Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
I believe medication can be most effective when used thoughtfully and collaboratively—as one part of a larger process of healing and self-understanding. My role is to help you clarify what’s happening, explore whether medication may help, and make informed choices that fit your goals and values.
I provide psychiatric evaluation, ongoing medication management, and therapy-informed support for adults navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and life transitions. My approach integrates biological, psychological, and relational perspectives, aiming not just to ease symptoms but to help you feel more balanced, grounded, and connected to yourself and others.

Iris McComb, LMHCA
Therapist
I approach therapy with the belief that healing is an innate human capacity. Often, unconscious patterns and old wounds keep us trapped in outdated stories about who we are and what is possible. Therapy can provide a safe, caring space to reconnect with what's been obscured, allowing us to come into greater alignment with our true nature and access more freedom in how we relate to ourselves and others.
My clinical focus includes developmental trauma and the lasting effects of early relational experiences, which can wire our nervous systems toward anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, and other problematic patterns. I integrate psychodynamic, somatic, mindfulness-based, and experiential perspectives, bringing attention not only to the stories you tell, but also to what emerges through emotion, relationship, and the body. I warmly welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds who are interested in exploring themselves deeply.
I offer individual therapy. I also provide Brainspotting therapy.

Christa Ellery, LMFT
Therapist
I believe that psychotherapy aims to empower clients with self-knowledge and self-understanding on their path to living authentically.
My training as a marriage and family therapist lends itself to helping clients deconstruct and understand the systems they exist within and examine how power impacts their ability to share and live by their own stories.
I work with individuals and relationships, and have experience working with clients in diverse relationship dynamics, including kink and consensual non-monogamy.
