Meet Me! I’m Phil… Or Philip.

My name is Philip Ellison-Hines, MS, LMFTA.
Indiana License # 85000536A.
I am also a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Hypnotherapist

I was born and raised in Indiana and I love it! (All 4 seasons AND Colts football, c’mon!) I am the father of 3 lovely kids and have been married for almost a decade! In my free time I enjoy motorcycles, fishing, and being creative. That comes out in a number of mediums such as writing, video production, building, and now podcasting.

My therapeutic focus is firstly building a strong client-therapist relationship regardless of what the method of treatment is, primarily through unconditional positive regard. Meaning, I will never be a person of judgment, I will only be curious as to how things benefit or don’t benefit your situation. I will work with you collaboratively through the problem because I believe you are the expert of your life and needs, not me. As a systemic therapist I focus a lot on attachments, connections, and how you view your problem and solutions based on those things. I find this blends well with the holistic wellness as well as the hypnotherapy.

Additionally I generally do not diagnose individual’s because from the systemic lens of treatment, our problems are viewed as symptoms. Meaning that our depression, anxieties, and other pathology are symptoms of our traumas and thereby not the true problem. 

Whether the work is with an individual, couple, or family this is the approach taken.

Now, a little about my time in the field. I have spent the past 2 years working in addiction treatment both as an intern and a full-time employee. Privately, I have also worked with clients with depression, anxiety, addictions other than drugs and alcohol, worked with children as young as 4, self-esteem issues, and pre-marital counseling.

When it comes to hypnosis I have helped individuals find relief from stress, anxiety, addictions, and help with weight loss. At this time, I do not do regression hypnosis.

If you think I would be a good fit for you or your family to work with, I look forward to hearing from you. If you would like a FREE 15 minute meeting, let me know in your message and that can be scheduled.

Be Well,
Phil
