Christine Ellis

Christine earned her social work degree in 1994 and began her career in residential treatment settings supporting youth ages 10–18. After completing her Master of Social Work in 2000, she provided home-based therapy through the community mental health center serving children and teens ages 4–18 who were referred by schools, Court Services, the Department of Social Services, the Department of Corrections, and other health care providers.

In 2006, Christine worked as a hospice social worker, providing end-of-life support for individuals of all ages and facilitating grief support groups for families and caregivers. She joined Integrative Wellness in 2007 and now sees adolescents, adults, and families in private practice. Christine offers a supportive, practical approach grounded in her extensive experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity concerns, and family transitions.

A lifelong Sioux Falls resident, Christine values community, and connection. Outside of work, she enjoys long-distance running, camping, cooking, and spending time with her family and pets.
