Biography for Ella Begelfor, C.Ht., M.A.

Ella is a bilingual (English/Russian) Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. Her philosophy focuses on helping people to regain their mental health, recapture peace and attain emotional stability. She uses the wisdom of ancient traditions as well as the mastery of prominent psychologists, philosophers, and spiritual leaders. These teachings support her work in revealing the inner workings of the mind-body-emotion balance of her clients. She helps people to understand their thoughts and emotions, enabling them to recognize their behavioral patterns. Once these patterns are identified, clients are given the tools to be their own healers.

Ella's hypnosis practice is predicated upon 21 years of work in highly stressful corporate environments. Since that time, using her own techniques, she has assisted countless numbers of colleagues to mitigate corporate stress and to live healthier, more balanced lives.

Ella has a Masters Degree in Psychology, Hypnotherapist, Reiki Practitioner and a Guided Imagery Facilitator. She works with clients in the areas of stress management, anger control, depression and anxiety disorders, relationships, behavioral issues, habit control, eating disorders, borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia. She provides therapy to individuals, couples, families and groups.

Ella continues to expand her education in psychotherapy by constantly attending workshops, conferences and seminars.

She is a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the California Association of Marriage, and Family Therapists (CAMFT), American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and the American Hypnosis Association (AHA). Her leisure activities include reading, traveling and playing piano.
