Willow & Sage Counseling

Our Counseling Philosophy

Though strong and deeply rooted, the Willow Tree withstands the greatest challenges in nature because of its unique ability to bend to the wind and other elements. Unlike the strong and sturdy Oak that resists the storms, the Willow has grown in harmony with nature, which makes it great example of the delicate balance in life that we all strive to achieve.

Just like the Willow Tree, we experience moments of peaceful energy, offering a feeling of stability and happiness. But this energy often shifts and we may begin to experience a sense of unsteadiness or helplessness. It is during these times that we struggle most to bend. It is during these times that we may look around for support and guidance through the storm .

At Willow & Sage Counseling, we understand the challenge of weathering the storm and believe in connecting with our Clients by providing an environment of unconditional acceptance where together we can explore all the possibilities towards growing deeper roots and building stability in life. Here you will find a safe and supportive space that, like the healing powers of Sage, will allow you to process the aspects of yourself and your life that are holding you back from becoming the person you want to be, or even simply holding you back from feeling joy and peace.

Mission and Vision Statement

Mission Statement:

Our mission at Willow & Sage Counseling is to provide inclusive, authentic, and compassionate counseling services to help promote individual growth and improved mental health. We strive to create a safe and trustworthy space that will allow our clients to feel empowered to explore their own strengths and resiliencies, as well as their innermost challenges, without fear of stigma or judgment.

Vision Statement

We are a company that values inclusion and has a passion for self-improvement. We work from a place of curiosity in order to collaborate with our clients. We work hard to provide a safe space where our client can trust in our authenticity and knowledge, so that they may feel free to be vulnerable to the process of change.

Our Values

Trust

Trust is a difficult thing to gain and an easy thing to lose. We at Willow & Sage Counseling consider trust our utmost priority, which is why we take confidentiality and privacy very seriously, and why we tailor our services to fit each of our clients’ needs.

Integrity

We strongly uphold moral and ethical principles in our daily practice and in the delivery of services. Because our clients entrust their mental health treatment to our professional care, we strive to provide counseling services that meet or exceed industry codes and standards.

Sensitivity

We appreciate and respect diversity and cultural differences of our clients, and take into account the many multidimensional aspects of their lives when delivering services. We strive to provide services that reflect our clients’ uniqueness and individuality, and to do so in a sensitive and caring manner.

Empathy

We desire to understand and help our clients gain insight into who they are and why they are hurting. Rather than seeing our clients as problems to solve, we see our clients as dynamic people living out important stories. We strive to see beyond diagnoses and managing symptoms, and instead are genuinely interested in identifying with the perspectives from which they approach life, and to have a sense of their emotions as they relate to their needs.

Inclusion

We value every client’s story, experience, and perspective as unique and we strive to provide a professional, friendly, and inclusive environment in which our clients can feel safe and welcomed.

Hope

Hope is one of our most powerful emotions, and can provide us with incredible strength, spur us into action, and help us create opportunities. Hope helps to reduce feelings of helplessness and stress, increase happiness, enhance coping, and improves quality of life. We believe that providing hope to our clients in their time of struggle is extraordinarily important to the therapeutic process.

Collaboration

Collaboration: We believe that we make the most progress with our clients when we work together to find solutions.
