About Innerpeace Counseling
Compassionate Therapy for Your Hardest Seasons
There Is Hope for the Healing You Long For
We will meet you exactly where you are - overwhelmed, tired, questioning how much longer you can keep holding it all together. You don't have to pretend you're fine anymore.
You don't have to stay stuck in old patterns that leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the people you love.
You're not broken. You're human. And healing is possible.
You Don’t Have to Pretend Everything’s Fine Anymore
Hi, I’m Elissa and I’m Honored to Walk This Journey With You
I'm Elissa, founder of Innerpeace Counseling. Becoming a therapist wasn’t just a career choice for me, it was a calling I felt as early as middle school.
Life took me on a winding path. I raised four kids, moved more than a dozen times as a military spouse, supported women and families through fitness and faith work, and faced my own challenges with anxiety, grief, chronic pain, and parenting children with special needs. Every part of my journey has shaped how I show up for you.
I believe you’re the expert on your own life. My role is to walk beside you, helping you reconnect with yourself, celebrate the small victories, and create real, lasting change. Therapy with me isn’t about labeling you or fixing you. It’s about restoring the connection and strength you already have inside.
When Life Feels Overwhelming
How We Work Together
At our therapy practice, we are proud to share the incredible progress many of our clients have made in overcoming severe PTSD and anxiety symptoms.
Through a combination of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), somatic work, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), clients have experienced profound healing, often within just a few months. EMDR helps individuals reprocess traumatic memories, somatic techniques address the body’s response to stress, and CBT provides practical tools to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns.
This integrative approach has allowed our clients to move from intense distress and dysfunction to healthier, more balanced lives, with symptoms reducing to normal, manageable levels.
We are deeply committed to supporting each individual’s journey toward recovery and wellness.
