Elizabeth Schutz

Practice Name: ES Counseling and Consulting

Email: Elizabeth@escounselingandconsulting.com

About: The whole team utilizes a phase model approach, which is comprised of three phases. The first phase focuses on building a foundation of safety and stabilization. We meet each client with where they are at, it is not a one size fits all approach. As clients gain emotional regulation we utilize EMDR and an IFS approach to help clients get free of beliefs that are in line with who God is and/or who God says they are. We believe that each person was created to have life and life abundantly. That means relational healthy, emotional stability and a life of purpose.

Emily Runnels

Practice Name: Thorn and Rose Counseling

Email: emily@thornandrosecounseling.com

About:My approach to therapy is rooted in CBT and IFS. I believe our core beliefs strongly influence how we think, feel, and act. While I value goal-oriented work, I also believe in meeting clients where they are. Sometimes therapy is about skill-building and growth, and other times it’s about creating a safe, supportive space to feel understood and validated.

Emily Pennington

Practice Name: The Next Chapter Counseling

Email: Emily@tnccounseling.com

About: I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, spirituality, low self-esteem, trauma, work or school stress, major life transitions, friendship struggles, and dating/relationship issues.

I have such a heart for walking with people through these challenges — not just because I’m trained in it, but because I’ve been there, too. As someone who has lived with severe anxiety and more recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I know how overwhelming it can feel. My passion is helping clients move from stuck and scattered to confident, grounded, and empowered.

About: I specialize in helping men who struggle with unwanted sexual behavior and helping couples heal from relationship trauma, whether that trauma stems from challenges within a marriage or past experiences that have been brought into the relationship.

In addition to running Healing Journey Counseling, my wife Leah and I run the Sexual Integrity and Betrayal Trauma Ministry at Cottonwood Creek Church.
