Meet Dr. Mira Ellison

Couples sessions for patterns that repeat

Weft Therapy is the solo practice of Dr. Mira Ellison, a licensed psychologist who sees couples in Austin, in the office or by video. She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology.

Dr. Ellison works from the Gottman Method, developed at the Gottman Institute, and listens first for the pattern the two of you share. She explains the method and what it asks of you before you decide to go on, and she tells you what she cannot do.

The name Weft comes from the thread that runs across a woven cloth and holds it together. A pattern that repeats in a relationship is much the same: easier to see once someone points to the thread.

Our approach

Therapy as a practice of weaving

A couple's pattern is a weave: his thread, her thread, and the cloth the two make. We look at the whole cloth first, so neither of you has to be the problem.

Seeing the pattern
Most couples fall into a loop: one presses, the other pulls back, and both feel unheard. We slow it down and name each step.
Setting the pace
You and Dr. Ellison agree how often to meet. She sets the pace with you and does not promise a number of sessions.
Trying it out
Between sessions you may try one small thing at home. At the next session we talk about how it went, including when it did not work.
