Meet our Therapists

Our Philosophy

Founded in 2013 by Dr. Jacqui Grantland, Inner Peace Therapeutic Services, LLC, embodies a vision of fostering a community of diverse, highly-skilled mental health professionals dedicated to holistic and compassionate care. Our core belief is that every individual is inherently good and an expert in their own life story. Recognizing the complexity of mental health, we understand that factors like environmental stress, psychological trauma, biology, and heredity play significant roles in one’s mental and emotional well-being.

At Inner Peace, we see counseling as a collaborative journey, where therapists and clients work hand in hand to tailor treatment goals that resonate with each individual’s unique narrative. Our team’s therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic and pragmatic principles, embracing a present-focused, strength-based, and goal-oriented methodology. We offer a spectrum 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 clients’ values, beliefs, and lifestyle. We strive to create a space where individuals can find support and guidance to navigate life’s challenges, believing firmly in the power of therapy to illuminate paths towards inner peace and resilience.
