Eunia Lee
Eunia is a licensed counselor who helps women and men in difficult and destructive relationships to heal and grow. She has witnessed the far-reaching impact of undetected and unrecognized abuse both personally and professionally, and has seen how difficult it is for those who struggle in this way to find the support and real help they need. She also knows God works in the intricate details of a person’s life to bring hope and restoration. As a life-long learner, she has self-studied under Leslie and other marital abuse experts for many years, completed a 40-hour domestic violence training, and received Leslie’s direct supervision since 2016. She finds it a privilege to help women and men become relationally healthy. When she’s not wearing her counseling or coaching hats, she loves watching more than one movie at a time, eating fun snacks, and laughing and having deep conversations with her husband, friends, and family. She also obsesses over dogs, including her own cavapoo, Wynnie.

Elise Berryhill
Elise believes passionately in the Greatest Commandment that God has called us all to love him, to love others, and to love ourselves. Matt. 22:35-40. For many years Elise expressed that call in lay ministry and service opportunities, working mainly with women or the marginalized. It wasn’t until later in her life, with children nearly grown that God opened up the opportunity for Elise to show his love and compassion toward others as a professional counselor. Whether working with individuals or couples, Elise’s counseling niche has always been relational in nature. In 2015, Elise began her work with Leslie in the EQUIP mentoring program. Leslie’s teaching and supervision have further prepared Elise to counsel and coach those who desire to thrive in the midst of very difficult and destructive relationships. When Elise is not working she enjoys spending time with her husband of 35 years, playing tennis, or visiting the beach with her grown children and building sand castles with the next generation of strong, brave and Godly women, her 3 granddaughters!
