“The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”
- Charles Dubois
Welcome to Elizabeth Nunley Psychotherapy, a collaborative group practice that offers inclusive, client-centered therapy for adolescents, individuals and couples.
Healing often requires more than just intellectually understanding what brings you to therapy, but means really shining a light into your internal system to see how it works to protect you. We acknowledge the courage needed to explore your inner world and view it as a privilege that you’d consider letting us accompany you on your journey.

IFS is a model of therapy founded by Dr. Richard Schwartz. IFS is not only a model of therapy, but a tool that clients can use on their own to continue the healing process outside of sessions. With IFS, therapists eventually “work themselves out of a job”, as clients learn how to relate to themselves and those around them from a place of self-leadership.
You know
so very well
the edge
of darkness
you have
always
carried with you.
And you know
too well
by now
the body’s
hesitation
at the invitation
to undo
everything
others seemed
to want to
make you learn.
But your edge
of darkness
has always
made
its own definition
secretly
as an edge of light
and the door
you closed
might,
by its very nature
be
one just waiting
to be leant against
and opened.
And happiness
might just
be a single step away,
on the other side
of that next
unhelpful
and undeserving
thought.
Your way home,
understood now,
not as an achievement,
but as a giving up,
a blessed undoing,
an arrival
in the body
and a full rest
in the give
and take
of the breath.
This living
breathing body
always waiting
to greet you
at the door,
always
no matter
the long years
you’ve been
away,
still
wanting you
to come home.
