Welcome to the Waters of Your Healing Home

You did not land here by accident—this is a threshold space.
A place to pause, breathe, and receive something real.

Jillian Ellison is the Founder and Executive Director of Beneath the Surface Therapy in La Quinta, California. She is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT 156597) in the state of California. At Beneath the Surface Therapy, she guides people through the deep work of untangling trauma bonds, rebuilding unshakable self-trust, and reclaiming the power they thought they’d lost. This is not surface‑level talk therapy—this is transformation at the root.

Ask yourself gently:
What part of you are you ready to come home to?
