Peace'In'It Counseling

Peace'In'It Counseling, led by Prell Gross, LPC, and Petra Gross, LPC, offers expert support for perinatal mental health, ADHD, couples counseling, and crisis management in Newport News, VA. The multi-lingual therapists use evidence-based methods with genuine empathy and collaboration. They welcome clients from all walks of life who are ready to work through challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, cultural or identity conflicts, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. The practice provides virtual counseling services to clients across Virginia, with Prell also licensed to serve clients in Washington, DC. Founded in 2021, the practice grew from a shared vision that began nearly a decade earlier when Prell and Petra met in graduate school at Radford University. They dreamed of creating a person-centered counseling space where individuals, especially those from minority backgrounds, could feel truly respected, understood, and supported. At Peace’In’It Counseling, connection is at the heart of everything Prell and Petra do. They use therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Rogerian/Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Techniques (DBT), and Mindfulness Practices to help clients find meaning and direction, create a nonjudgmental space for self-exploration and growth, focus on practical choices and personal responsibility, build skills for emotional regulation and resilience, and calm the mind and practice present-moment awareness. Each session is shaped around the client’s individual goals, whether that’s coping with anxiety, strengthening relationships, or cultivating personal growth. The clinicians at Peace’In’It Counseling offer mental & behavioral health counseling and mental wellness support to residents of Virginia and Washington D.C. by licensed professional counselors (LPCs) trained with cultural humility and person-centered treatment modalities at the forefront of care. With more than 30 years of combined experience and having worked with 25+ varying demographic backgrounds and cultures with individuals ages 4 and older, the Peace'In'It Counseling team utilizes an eclectic and holistic approach to services to support the uniqueness of the individual sharing a space with them.
