Hi, I’m Elisa Valentine, a trauma-informed therapist in Medina, Ohio, and I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming—but so can continuing to live the way you are right now. You don’t have to do this alone. I specialize in EMDR therapy for trauma, working with individuals and couples who feel stuck despite being capable, high-functioning, and outwardly successful. Many of my clients are professionals, caretakers, and helpers who are used to managing everything for everyone else—yet feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or emotionally overwhelmed on the inside. As a therapist trained in EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help clients process trauma, regulate intense emotions, improve relationships, and create lasting change—not just coping skills. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in neuroscience and attachment-based care. I offer in-person therapy in Medina, OH, as well as telehealth therapy in Galena, Ohio, making it easier to access support that fits your life. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, or the weight of being “the strong one,” therapy can be a space where you finally get to exhale. Healing doesn’t require you to relive the past forever—and you don’t have to wait until things get worse to ask for help. If you’re ready to move toward relief, clarity, and connection, I’d be honored to support you.
