Letter from the Owner, LaToya Nkongolo: I started my career 23 years ago as a counselor in a juvenile detention facility. At that time, I learned the pervasiveness of mental health and substance use disorders, and the dangers of self-medicating. It comes a time where self-medication begins to hurt the addict and everyone around him/her. We work to help individuals and families break the cycle of addiction and/or manage mental health symptoms by learning ways to cope with life stressors. Our compassionate, highly competent staff are here to help you achieve peace of mind!

According to James Allen, our “mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will” produce. Have you lost motivation? Has your sense of peace and balance been disrupted by factors beyond your control? Has your ability to manage home, self-care, and career life balance caused significant distress in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Has your child’s oppositional behaviors or their inattention and impulsivity left you feeling powerless, confused, and frustrated?

People seek therapy for a broad range of reasons, from dealing with anxiety or depression, coping with childhood trauma, managing stress, dealing with major life challenges, or simply wanting to achieve greater self-knowledge and personal growth. Regardless of the reasons, people want therapeutic intervention that is compassionate and non-judgmental. People want a provider who actively listens, appreciates a person's right to self-determination, and understands the importance of collaboration throughout the treatment process. Therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about healing that which has been bruised and scarred.
