WELCOME
You are warmly welcomed to journey with us in one of the many offerings that we present. It is our intention to create a nurturing environment, where you can learn and deepen professional skills, as well as participate in your own counseling, consultations and spiritual development. Our seminars and trainings offer continuing educational units for licensed professional counselors and licensed clinical professional counselors. We will be expanding CEU’s for other professions in the near future.
We continue to invite and encourage individuals, couples and children to heal and grow. Creating peaceful, loving families, strong, healthy individuals and quality, fulfilling relationships has been a passion of the founder, Joan Lopina, for the last 35 years and will continue to be.

Psychotherapy is offered to professionals, individuals, couples, children and families. Anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, grieving and loss, and professional burnout are our specialties.
Spiritual Development
Individual and group sessions are available for those who wish to live life from a deeper, spiritual place. (This is not to be confused with a religious or faith denominational perspective). All people are welcomed to pursue their journey for meaning and purpose, while being honored and respected.
Book study groups offer the opportunity to apply the principles offered in books on intentional living and spiritual development. You can find assistance, encouragement and support as you make new shifts in your life.
