Counseling

All of us need affirmation in our lives. Counseling provides an opportunity to express our fears, our needs and our concerns in a safe and comfortable setting of "unconditional positive regard." Marcie Holmes has been a registered nurse for over 30 years and is also a mental health practitioner. Her philosophy is oriented toward wellness and client involvement. Art, music, and journaling are often used as integrative therapies in conjunction with counseling. Marcie is available to counsel individuals, families and groups. A separate entrance is available to ensure privacy.

Wellness Coaching
Wellness Coaching is a "whole person" program designed to help individuals gain personal insight into their physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. It involves a minimum of two sessions. The first session includes an assessment of the current level of wellness and the development of a plan to make the desired changes in one's life. The second session, which takes place approximately six months later, evaluates those changes and the effect they have on the individual's wellness. Additional sessions may be scheduled as desired. Each one hour session is $45.00.
