Juniper trees come in all shapes and sizes and can be found all over the world. At Juniper Crossing, what we love about this tree is all that it symbolizes - strength, healing, resilience, diversity, the need for deep roots - the things that we believe so many of us are working out in our own lives. This is why it's part of our practice name. Usually, when a person decides they’re ready for therapy, or even when a parent, family member or friend suggests it - it’s because they're at a crossing point. Some issue, event, relationship - whatever it may be, is asking for them to decide - which path will I/will we take?
