Right Track Medical Group welcomes licensed psychologist

Glenn T. Ellis, PHD, recently joined Right Track Medical Group’s Starkville location as a licensed psychologist, bringing expertise in psychological testing regarding common mental health concerns.

In his role with Right Track Medical Group, Dr. Ellis will perform psychological evaluations as well as ADHD testing. He says the expansion of these services is critical for all ages, ranging from children and adolescents to working professionals and college students at nearby Mississippi State University (MSU).

“Many patients will say they’ve always felt like something was ‘wrong’ with them, but didn’t know what it was,” Dr. Ellis said. “Once they become familiar with the symptoms, it encourages them to be evaluated and, when appropriate, treated.”

National statistics suggest that around 33% of incoming freshmen have undiagnosed mental health concerns. As students prepare to return to Starkville for in-person classes this fall, Dr. Ellis and his testing services will be available as part of the partnership with Right Track Medical Group and MSU’S John C. Longest Student Health Center.

“Right Track Medical

Group has an excellent connection with Mississippi State University,” he said. “I’m looking forward to working with their students and medical staff.”

Dr. Ellis’s prior experience includes the treatment of children, adolescents and adults. He has conducted psychological evaluations for youth court, psychological consultations for an inpatient treatment facility and psychological consultations for university athletes.

“Right Track Medical Group is addressing a real need in the community,” said Dr. Ellis. “Through our services, we can identify the mental health needs of patients and help facilitate their treatment.”
