My hope is to provide a safe place for individuals and families to work through their hardships and promote healing.
Hi there!
My name is Amelia Ancell, and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with eight years of experience working within the Lubbock community. I graduated from Texas Tech University in 2014 with a BS in Community, Family, and Addiction Services and a MS in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2016.
My experience and passion are in working with adolescents, young adults, and families who have experienced trauma. In the early stages of therapy, I focus on laying a foundation for the therapeutic relationship and enjoy connecting with clients through expressive art, meditation, and grounding practices.
My approach to therapy includes emotion focused, and family systems modalities. I have also been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I view my clients through a trauma-informed attachment-based lens, while also employing behavioral techniques and skills to help clients attain their goals. My hope is to provide a safe place for individuals and families to work through their hardships and promote healing.
I will walk beside you as our collective story unfolds.
Meet Cardi

Behind The Name
Change is a process and can be an uneasy one, much like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. During our time together we will develop a safe place before you begin your transformation. You may find this transformation to become uncomfortable— imagine how the caterpillar feels! Over and over again, I have seen clients put in the work and emerge a new person, able to Take Flight to their next adventure.
