We each face unique challenges in life. Experiences like overcoming trauma, managing a mental health condition, adjusting to significant life changes or health diagnoses, and navigating complicated relationships with friends, family, or your partner can leave anyone feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and hopeless.

You are not alone. We know that you possess the innate wisdom and tools for growth, and we’re here to guide and help uncover these strengths.

Hello, I’m Vanessa Buttery, Founder of Eloura Therapy.

As a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner and Professional Counselor, I’ve spent more than a decade walking alongside people through life’s challenges and transitions. My work has taken me into addiction counseling, residential treatment centers, and hospital care and for the past six years, I’ve focused on outpatient therapy. For over a year now, I’ve had the joy of running Eloura Therapy, building a space rooted in care and connection.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in nursing, which gave me a deep respect for compassionate, whole-person care. That foundation continues to shape how I look at the full picture of your well-being, not just your symptoms.

My therapeutic style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neuropsychotherapy, Solution-Focused work, and Person-Centered techniques and my role is to help uncover strengths, clarify goals, and move you through challenges with support. 

I created Eloura because I believe in care that supports the whole you. For too long, I watched people get overlooked until they were in crisis. I knew there had to be a better way.

If you’re stretched thin, running on empty, or just not feeling like yourself, this is where we begin.

Welcome.

After supporting a family member through a years-long, challenging mental health journey, Founder Vanessa Buttery decided to pursue a career in mental health to make positive change and support people in a more impactful way.

Inspired by the idea of encapsulating the essence of therapy in a single word, the name “Eloura” symbolizes hope, new beginnings, and transformation and perfectly represents our mission.

We believe in offering a space where individuals can find hope amidst struggles, embark on new life chapters, and transform into their best selves. We are dedicated to guiding you through life’s challenges and helping you discover your purpose.

At Eloura Therapy, we don’t push for perfection or preach from a checklist. We begin with what’s real.

What’s working. What’s not. What feels just a little too heavy to keep carrying alone.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all answers.
Your background, your needs, and your pace matters deeply.

Our approach is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and space-making.
We help you reconnect with the life you want to live, not just the one you’ve been ‘getting through.’

And we trust your intuition. Together, we’ll make sense of what feels stuck, celebrate what you’ve already moved through, and explore what kind of support feels meaningful to you now.

You don’t need perfect words.
You don’t need a plan.
You don’t even need something “wrong.”

If something’s felt off—if you’re tired of holding it all together? This might be your sign to let someone in.

We’re here when you’re ready.
To listen, to hold space, to help you move forward.
One step at a time.
