Ellen Joseph, PhD

Dr. Ellen Joseph is a licensed Clinical Health Psychologist. Dr. Joseph is the Partnership Liaison for GI Psychology.

Dr. Joseph’s patients value her genuine and empathetic treatment style, fostering a non-judgmental space where they feel understood. With extensive training in primary care, women’s health, and hospital settings, she brings a wealth of experience spanning all ages and diverse concerns. Dr. Joseph excels in collaborating with care team members, ensuring a holistic approach that leaves patients feeling supported at every step of their journey. This passion for collaboration is further exemplified in her work, where she has dedicated time to providing education and resources to partner health systems, fostering greater awareness and understanding.

She received her doctorate in Counseling Psychology from University of Denver with an emphasis in Health Psychology and went on to receive training from numerous academic health centers across the country, including Cooper University Health Care in Camden, NJ, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in San Antonio, TX, and Denver Health in Denver, CO. With such a strong foundation in a wide range of integrated healthcare environments, Dr. Joseph brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her care for those struggling with disorders of the gut-brain connection.

Dr. Joseph adopts a goal-oriented, strengths-based, and collaborative approach to empower patients in effecting positive change. She finds immense satisfaction in helping patients with chronic and acute medical conditions reclaim control over their lives. Patients can expect to learn strategies for adapting and finding meaning amidst medical challenges, enhancing overall satisfaction under Dr. Joseph’s compassionate guidance. Dr. Joseph is also listed on the ROME Foundation’s provider database.

When not working with patients, Dr. Joseph is spending time with her family and dog, watching her favorite sports and TV series, or in the kitchen, baking or cooking.

Here’s what our clients say…

“I like how she works in partnership with me to figure out what I need , vs. a cookie cutter approach. I feel seen and understood.”

Adult Patient

“The work I have been doing with my therapist has been life-changing. The hypnosis and the tools she has provided me to have been relatable and useful to my day-to-day IBS pain management and associated anxiety.”
