Our Philosophy

Dr. Jacqui Grantland founded Inner Peace Therapeutic Services, LLC in 2013 with a vision of creating a community of diverse, highly-skilled mental health professionals dedicated to providing holistic and compassionate care. We believe that every person has inherent value and is the expert of their own life story. We recognize the complexity of mental health, understanding that environmental stress, psychological trauma, biology, and heredity all significantly influence one’s mental and emotional well-being.

At Inner Peace, we view counseling as a collaborative journey, where therapists and clients work together to tailor treatment goals that resonate with each person’s unique narrative. Our therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic and pragmatic principles, emphasizing a present-focused, strength-based, and goal-oriented methodology. We offer a wide range of therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Art Therapy, and Reality Therapy.

Our commitment is to provide treatment that is not only evidence-based but also aligns with our client’s values, beliefs, and lifestyles. We strive to create a supportive environment where individuals can find guidance and support to navigate life’s challenges. At Inner Peace, we firmly believe in the power of therapy to help people discover inner peace and build resilience.

“Peace of mind is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”
