Trees and plants thrive when they have well cultivated roots, are planted in healthy soil, and are cared for according to their unique characteristics and needs. The therapeutic process is similar to the commitment of a gardener who tends to the soil, waters, prunes and protects so that the trees and plants can flourish and blossom to their full potential. In the human experience, there are often challenges in the roots of the family of origin as well as both external and internal obstacles that may inhibit a person or a relationship to be have the ability to move towards a life that is full and meaningful.

Evergreen trees are often considered strong, resilient, with deep roots and a strong core. They too lose foliage, grow and replenish year after year. And evergreen trees do best when planted with other trees and not in an isolated setting.  At Evergreen Counselling Centre, we believe in the strength and resilience of our clients and desire to cultivate the changes and growth that would lead to a connected and authentic life.
