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.

Practice Name: The Next Chapter Counseling

Email: akiva@tnccounseling.com

About: Many clients come to therapy for issues related to self-image, conflict, depression and anxiety, and recovering from traumatic events like abuse and infidelity. When working with me clients discover about their value systems and what is important to them, and may find that their behaviors and interactions are out of sync with what they hold dear. We work together to figure out what is getting in their way and how to make better choices with what they have in front of them.
