OUR CALMING SUITE SPACE
Our beautiful Calming Suite practice was intentionally designed to feel more like a high-end wellness space than a traditional white-wall clinic. We wanted our clients and staff to walk through the doors promoting a sense of wellness as opposed to sickness. Every fine detail & finishing touch had the curation of intent to make our clients and staff feel special, welcome, safe and someone who truly matters when they walk in our doors. Every clinician on our team has their own large spacious clinic room with skylights, soft furnishings in wood, mocha, creams, and splashes of plants and flowers, alongside their own unique, purposefully selected (mental health-inspired) artwork from Katie Wyer. Our divine Wellness Room was created as a large multi-purpose space where we host our group programs, diagnostic clinical assessments for children and adults, team meetings & fun activities like boxing and yoga.

conducting psychological assessments, group therapy and collaborating
