Ella Trager

Before joining Union Square Practice, I gained experience in a variety of mental health settings, beginning my career at New York University’s CONNECT Lab and The Ohio State University’s Depression Research Lab, where I contributed to research on emotional functioning and mood disorders. While completing my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at NYU, I provided psychotherapy in a community clinic, working with patients navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and personality disorders, and developed a special interest in working with couples and individuals navigating personality disorders. In addition to my clinical work, I have a strong interest in sport and performance psychology, have served as a mental performance coach for youth and high school athletes, and hope to one day create a space that unites physical training and mental performance work to help others reach their full potential.
