Welcome to InnerPeace.
We currently have licensed therapists on staff and are accepting new clients.
We offer in-person outpatient psychotherapy services and telehealth via the internet and in cases where no internet is available, phone calls work.
“Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.”
