I’m Elisa Valentine, a licensed therapist (C.2305374) specializing in anxiety and trauma.

I help individuals cultivate insight, resilience, and self-acceptance through a warm, collaborative approach. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you can show up fully—and begin your healing journey.

My path to becoming a therapist began at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, where I started as a pre-med student. Along the way, I realized how much I loved learning about the unique life journeys of others. Inspired by the profound transformations people can experience through mental health therapy and life changes, I shifted my focus from the physical sciences to psychological sciences and holistic health.

While searching for an internship that integrated both mind and body, a friend introduced me to a practice nearby that embraced this philosophy. There, I completed my training and began my career as a mental health therapist in a supportive private practice that honored the connection between mind, body, and soul—an experience for which I remain deeply grateful.

Building on that foundation, I opened my own practice to continue and expand this work. Today, I am honored to serve individuals and families in both Medina and Middlefield.
