AMY ELLENBOGEN, LMSW

I am a therapist, social worker, community organizer, restorative justice practitioner, and parent. I love engaging with perspectives different from my own, taking on challenges that appear intractable, collaborating with diverse teams, and transforming abstract ideas into actionable projects.

As a coach, I have a particular interest in shared leadership models, and as a therapist, I help clients reduce anxiety, manage stress, improve relationships, and live a values-aligned life.

I had the privilege of serving as the Director of the Crown Heights Community Mediation Center (now Neighbors in Action) in Brooklyn, New York, for 18 years. In that role, I was directly involved in activating the public health approach to gun violence reduction by founding New York State’s first Cure Violence replication site, “Save Our Streets.” During my tenure, the Center grew from a team of four to 40, and from one storefront in Crown Heights to four. We designed and implemented programs in schools, on the streets, in hospitals, Houses of Worship, and small businesses.

Conspiring for Good was launched to share the experiences and tools my colleagues and I developed over the years—to help you or your organization clarify your vision, strengthen your team, create achievable plans, build coalitions, and develop new ways to spread good.
