Counseling Services

We’re sitting on our blessed Mother Earth from which we get our strength and determination, love and humility – all the beautiful attributes that we’ve been given. So turn to one another; love one another; respect one another; respect Mother Earth; respect the waters – because that’s life itself.

Our Counseling Philosophy

Our philosophy begins with the individual’s creation in God’s image, strong, self-determined, resourceful and resilient. Our approach is relationship-based. Through our partnership with you and your family, together we can actively meet needs as they arise.
