Limited Time Does Not Have to Mean Limited Care
For many clients, therapy consists of about 15 to 20 sessions, each about 60 minutes long, all in an effort to achieve recovery goals. While 15 to 20 sessions may sound like a fair amount, those weeks of care can be as fleeting as sunny days in the middle of winter. Making those precious few […]

Peaks, Pizza and Palms
