Navigating Life's Gray Moments With Strength and Balance
Graystone Counselling was founded by Cara Beth Elliott, who transitioned from a 12-year teaching career to help individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s complexities. Inspired by her work with adolescents in the “gray zone”—those caught between childhood and adulthood—Cara aimed to create a space for personal growth, resilience, and transformation. Today, Graystone is more than a therapy practice; it’s a trusted partner in your journey toward emotional well-being.
Our name serves as a powerful reminder that even in life’s grayest moments, there is resilience, beauty, and the potential for meaningful growth.

Embracing the unknown as a path to self-discovery.
Neutrality & Non-Judgment
A safe space for exploration without fear of judgment.
Complexity
Understanding and embracing life’s gray areas for peace and growth.
Why "Stone"?
Stone symbolizes:
Strength & Resilience
The enduring power of the human spirit.
Foundation & Stability
Building a solid base for mental and emotional health.
Natural Beauty
Celebrating each unique journey.
Our Mission
Together, "Gray" and "Stone" reflect our mission to create balance, offer a grounded space for growth, and empower clients through transformation. Just as stones are shaped by pressure, we help clients navigate challenges to emerge stronger.
