A Hospital Without Walls: Redefining Healing with Dr. Ross Ellenhorn
A Hospital Without Walls: Redefining Healing with Dr. Ross Ellenhorn
Guest: Dr. Ross Ellenhorn, CEO of Ellenhorn

In this thought-provoking episode of Linda’s Corner, we’re joined by Dr. Ross Ellenhorn—pioneering psychiatrist, sociologist, and CEO of Ellenhorn—to explore a radical reimagining of mental health care. Dr. Ellenhorn has created what he calls a “hospital without walls,” offering community-integrated services that honor autonomy, human dignity, and the healing power of social support.
Together, we dive into threat assessment theory, which views life’s difficulties as either challenges or threats—and how that perspective shifts based on the resources we believe we have. Many people avoid looking inward because it feels like a threat, not a challenge. But when we are surrounded by supportive relationships and people who believe in us, our self-efficacy grows. We begin to say, “I can do this.”
Key Topics Discussed:
- The dangers of the “fix-it” model in psychological care
- Why true healing requires respecting a person’s autonomy
- The importance of collaborative relationships in creating change
- Why change is a choice—and how people resist it because staying the same feels safer
- The role of social support in helping people want to change
- Understanding the fear of hope and how it’s really the fear of disappointment
- Moving from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What happened to me?”
- Why depression is not a trait, but a temporary state that can be changed
- How treating people with respect and viewing them as the experts of their own lives creates the conditions for transformation
Dr. Ellenhorn’s work challenges traditional models and invites us into a more compassionate, empowering approach to mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in healing, hope, and human potential.
