What Makes us Different

Pelfrey Counseling, Inc. is a trauma-informed mental health practice dedicated to helping individuals, adolescents, and families heal, grow, and reconnect with their inherent strengths. We believe therapy should feel grounding, supportive, and collaborative—never rushed or one-size-fits-all.
Our work is guided by the belief that every person has the capacity to move toward deeper self-understanding and emotional well-being when offered a safe, empowering therapeutic relationship. Read more about what makes us different:
Trauma-Informed from the Inside Out
At Pelfrey Counseling, Inc., every aspect of our work—from the language we use to the pace of sessions—is grounded in trauma-informed care. We understand how trauma shows up in the mind and body, and we tailor treatment to meet clients where they are, not where they “should” be.
We Work With the Nervous System, Not Just the Mind
Healing isn’t only cognitive. Our clinicians integrate Somatic Experiencing®, Gentle Reprocessing (GR), Dance Movement & Expressive Therapy, and other body-based approaches to help clients reconnect with safety and regulation. This allows for deeper and more sustainable healing than talk therapy alone.
Personalized Care, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every client’s story is unique. Our treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and designed around each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. We honor identity, culture, history, and lived experience in every session.
Rooted in Connection and Relationship
We believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. Clients consistently describe our space as calm, safe, and grounding—a place where they feel deeply seen and understood.
Growth That Extends Beyond the Therapy Room
We help clients build skills and emotional resilience they can carry into daily life. Our work goes beyond crisis management to support lasting change, healthier relationships, and greater alignment with personal values.
Support for the Whole Family System
We understand that individuals do not exist in isolation. Our clinicians are skilled in supporting teens, parents, caregivers, blended families, and those navigating intergenerational trauma and complex relationship dynamics.
Clinical Excellence With a Human Touch
We combine evidence-based therapies with warmth, compassion, and a nonjudgmental presence. Clients receive the expertise of highly trained clinicians without ever feeling rushed or like a “number.
A Practice Built on Integrity and Authenticity
We believe in transparency, ethics, and doing what’s right—even when no one is looking. Our care is guided by professionalism and genuine humanity in equal measure.
