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.

Neutrality & Non-Judgment
