The Meaning Behind Willow Wellness

A Willow Tree represents strength, resiliency, and adaptability, as they are strongly rooted in the earth yet flexible, adaptable, and bendable in a storm.

At Willow Wellness Center, we believe in a person learning their “roots” and a deeper inner understanding to develop a positive relationship with themselves as well as others.

A person’s understanding and love for themselves helps build resiliency and a true understanding of how to adapt to life and circumstances they cannot change. It also helps them to learn the necessary skills to confront the “storms” of life while growing throughout their personal journey.

Our clinicians build trusting therapeutic relationships with all our clients to allow them to explore ways to live an authentic and fulfilling life.

Strength.
Resiliency.
Adaptability.

Willow Wellness Center is a small private practice whose skilled and experienced clinicians provide clinical services to families, children, adolescents, adults, and couples who may be experiencing difficulty or challenges, which they need professional support to understand, balance, and overcome.  

Each of our clinicians has a minimum of 8 years of experience in various areas of knowledge and expertise, which includes art therapy, CBT, Eco-systemic family therapy, DBT, attachment, adoption, trauma informed care, solution-focused therapy, and effective strategies for children diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, and/or OCD.
