At Serenity, you will find a relaxed, warm, and nonjudgmental environment. Our practice is an inclusive practice, created to provide person-centered, strengths-based therapy to individuals, children, adolescents, and families. Our goal is to create, promote, and maintain positive bidirectional helping relationships with our clients, local hospitals, associates, and staff, and most importantly our community with the goal of self-sufficiency and community improvement and empowerment. No matter what you are facing, Serenity Counseling and Wellness has therapists who are passionate about helping you to feel resilient and calm.
We believe that therapy should be a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space, that offers the opportunity to process and make sense of emotions and experiences. Our goal is to provide a serene and safe haven for healing in a healthy, yet fun therapeutic environment. Walking through the therapeutic experience together is the key to healing.
The process starts with that first call. It can be daunting, overwhelming, and even embarrassing to begin sharing with another the realities of what is going on, however, it is essential to take that first step – and we are here to take that call when you’re ready.
