Elaine Andell, Clinic Director, LCSW

Hi there! I’m Elaine Andell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and the Clinic Director at Ember Mental Wellness. I work with adults (18+) in person in St. Louis, MO, or via telehealth. While I have experience with a variety of populations and presenting concerns, I specialize in supporting first responders, as well as individuals navigating self-harm, thoughts of suicide, or moments of crisis.

My approach is rooted in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Starting October 2025, I’ll also be offering Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for individuals seeking an evidence-based treatment for severe trauma and PTSD.

Outside of work, I live with six pets who keep things entertaining and occasionally chaotic. When I’m not wrangling furry roommates, you can usually find me watching football and cheering (too loudly) for the Kansas City Chiefs. If you are looking for a kind, honest, and occasionally humorous collaborator on your healing journey, I would love to meet you
