Counseling for Individuals

At Protea Wellness, we value and honor each person’s individual experiences and needs, acknowledging that many of us lose our sense of our uniqueness along life’s path. We are interested in knowing and working with the entirety of your identities and experiences and helping you to understand and honor all parts of you.

 

Our counselors and therapists work with clients using an "integrated" style, drawing on a number of different modalities depending on the client's needs and honoring your uniqueness.

 

Each counselor and therapist at Protea Wellness has a different specialization but we all work from a Social Justice, Anti-Oppression, Inclusive Feminist lens.
