Evolve, Expand & Find Ease

Through holistic functional therapy and coaching, I work with you to integrate and optimize your nervous system so that you feel calmer, more energized, happier, and live with purpose.

Let’s get you feeling better!

I know what it’s like to feel stuck after trying seemingly everything with very little change or success.  

After years of failed psychiatric treatments that left me discouraged and defeated, I found hope and relief in holistic and functional modalities combined with conventional therapies. 

I have spent years learning these techniques so that I can share them with others so that they too can have hope and healing. My dynamic approach is grounded in the idea that we can’t talk ourselves out of a dysregulated nervous system.

Struggle with Meditation? Try This Instead…

Not everyone enjoys meditating—and that’s okay. This 4-part video mini-series introduces simple, effective exercises to help you calm your nervous system in a way that feels natural and easy.

No meditation, no guilt—just practical tools to help you feel more balanced.

Let’s work together!

What clients are saying…

  • “Elyse is unlike any therapist I’ve ever worked with.  She creates a relationship that when you step into a room you forget the fear of having to talk about yourself. She makes you feel at home, as if you’re talking to a friend.  And from your first session, it always feels like that - like you don’t have to question yourself.  One of the best things about her is that she follows up - not because it’s her job but because she deeply cares about her patients.”

    -Liz T.

  • “The transformation we have seen in our daughter while working with you is nothing short of amazing. We are thankful every day that we connected with you.”

    -Brittany B.

  • "Elyse has been a most trusted confidant and wonderful emotional support. When I sought therapy, I was very apprehensive but she immediately made the experience feel effortless and 100% comfortable. Elyse listens actively and though she offers ample space for you to voice your feelings and opinions, she proactively offers helpful guidance enabling you to realize the best path forward. Elyse has supported me in establishing my own coping mechanisms, what uniquely works for my mind and body, and has helped me understand how I can be a healthier presence when faced with conflict in my life. I am so grateful for Elyse's work and support."

    -Jen I.

  • “My biggest regret is that I didn’t know you sooner. Had I been working with you when I was in the throes of my deep depression, I would have been able to feel so much better faster.”

    -Jen S.

  • “Elyse Schunkewitz is a highly intelligent, compassionate, creative and talented therapist who has a unique skill set which encompasses a broad variety of approaches. With her ability to integrate traditional psychotherapeutic techniques with functional neurology and other areas, she has tremendously helped clients with whom she and I worked. She is experienced and incredibly competent in treating a wide range of issues, including issues regarding which there are very few skilled clinicians. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Elyse over several years and am fortunate to have her as a colleague.”

    -Dr. Jim Dhrymes, MD

  • “I feel like I’ve made so much progress in such a short amount of time! Thank you for helping me along my journey. You and your work have truly been such a blessing to me.”
