Mark Ellis Named As
The Primary Therapist
For Our Embers Group

Mark Ellis, LCSW, is the Embers Therapist and specializes in working with boys age 11-15. The focus of his career has been to improve family systems and parent/child relationships. Mark's client expertise is in pre-teen and early teen boy challenges such as oppositional behavior at home, low social functioning, rigid thinking, depression, anxiety, spectrum and attachment issues. Mark joined BlueFire Wilderness bringing with him a passion and level of experience perfectly aligned with the growing need for therapies focused on our Embers population.

With many years of clinical experience, Mark's resume includes being a therapist for a wilderness program for five years, working at residental programs, and most recently working with individuals, couples and families in community based mental health centers.

"I love to help families learn skills and build a tool box full of options to manage their emotions in the most stressful situations. Healing is done within the entire family unit and BlueFire Wilderness gives families a unique and effective platform to ignite this change. We help your child better understand where they are, learn conflict resolution, and become more accepting and communicative."

Mark is a husband, and father to six darling children. In between family time and work he still manages to stay physically active and has most recently taken up swimming in preparation for future triathlons.
