RaeEllen Ellis | Behavioral Health Strategist, Founder & Faith-Led Leader

01 About

RaeEllen Ellis Founder & Strategic Consultant · Orange County, CA

Fifteen years across the behavioral health continuum — from the admissions floor to the CEO's chair.

RaeEllen partners with behavioral health organizations through growth, stabilization, and acquisition readiness, bridging strategy to execution across access, admissions, and operations. She has served as interim CEO of a distressed company and led it back to profitability in six months, tripled the EBITDA of a residential program ahead of its sale, and opened a residential eating-disorder treatment center from program design through community outreach.

Her work is personal. For years she lived at war with her own body — changing outfits before leaving the house, avoiding mirrors, struggling with food and self-worth. Through faith, healing, and deep personal work she found freedom, and realized it wasn't just her story: it was one so many women were quietly carrying.

Today "Rae," as she is lovingly called, builds tables — spaces where organizations, families, and women move from overwhelm to clarity, and from striving to freedom.

"You were never meant to earn your worth. You were created with it."
