About the Speakers:
Ellie Messinger-Adams (LPCC) is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) dedicated to helping moms through the craziness, chaos, and beauty that comes with #momlife. I received my master’s degree in counselor education from Western Michigan University; completed specific training from Postpartum Support International in providing therapy for mamas with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS); and completed level 1 training from the TheraPlay Institute. With over 10 years of experience working with moms and their families both in private practice and school settings, I have had the opportunity to see moms throughout the spectrum of #momlife challenges. I blend client-centered and humanistic practices along with somatic and body-based therapies to address the mind, body, and spirit of my clients while reaching each person in the way in which they best respond. As a therapist specializing in working with moms, I recognize the unique and diverse challenges and demands you face. At ēma therapy, I take a client-centered, holistic approach to therapy to address the interconnectedness of your mind, body, and soul because I believe that true healing and growth occur when all aspects of our being feel integrated and grounded.
Jillian McGarry (M.Ed., BCBA) is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over a decade of experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). With a passion for making the science of behavior accessible to all, my methodology is grounded in ensuring that behavioral principles are practical and applicable in everyday life. Through my work, I strive to teach positive skills and behaviors that address underlying needs, empower caregivers, and support persons to do the same with confidence. Beyond my professional endeavors, I love my role as a mother to my energetic, young son. After working with children for almost 15 years, I cherish the opportunity to be present and engaged in my child’s growth and development while also contributing my expertise to the field that I love.

I have three beautiful children and have experienced firsthand the challenges that come with being a new mom; the sleepless nights, the overwhelm, and looking for reliable sources of information. I am excited to share my own experience in motherhood and be there for you. I see you, mama! I am passionate about helping families get through such a vulnerable time in their lives. I am committed to providing you with evidence-based information and judgement-free support so that you can make the best possible decisions for your family.
