Our practice
Welcome to Petrichor Therapeutic Center
Founded in 2024, Petrichor Therapeutic Center was created around a single idea: that renewal follows the storm. Our practice offers a safe, empowering, and unhurried space where your story is met with respect and clinical care.
We specialize in EMDR and TF-CBT, evidence-based approaches to processing trauma and restoring a sense of steadiness in daily life. Faith-integrated counseling is available upon request, always led by what you want your healing to look like.

Meet the owner
Meet Elvia Pina, LPC, EMDR-Certified Therapist
Elvia's path to counseling began in law and advocacy, where she spent years sitting with people during the hardest chapters of their lives. That work made one thing clear: legal outcomes rarely heal what trauma leaves behind.
Born of El Salvador heritage and raised between two languages and two cultures, she understands how identity, migration, family expectation, and faith shape the way pain is carried and the way healing is asked for.
Her clinical philosophy is collaborative and paced by you. She combines EMDR, TF-CBT, and a trauma-informed lens with a deep belief that clients are the authority on their own lives.
- Licensed Professional Counselor (Virginia)
- EMDR Certified Therapist
- TF-CBT Certified Clinician
- Approved Clinical Supervisor
“The strongest people are not those who have never struggled, but those who choose healing despite their struggles.”

In their words
Stories of renewal
“I came in carrying years I could not put into words. For the first time, I felt unhurried and genuinely heard.”
“EMDR sounded intimidating until it was explained to me clearly. The pace was always mine to set.”
“Poder hablar en mi idioma cambió todo. Me sentí entendida, no traducida.”
“As a parent I learned how to be steady for my son without losing myself in the process.”
