Flourish Counseling & Wellness

I’ve been Marcia Welch’s Reiki client for several years. She has amazing insight and talent; a true healing gift. I’m always impressed how good I feel after one of her Reiki sessions. I’m so glad she’s sharing this healing at Flourish now since it’s closer to my home!

I have been a client of Flourish Counseling and Wellness Center since its inception. I have participated in Flourish workshops, Mindful Art, Mindful Conversations for Difficult times, and nutritional counseling. All are very beneficial. Over the last two weeks, I suffered migraines. Dr. Park came in on her day off to give me an acupuncture treatment. I felt immediate relief. I will be forever thankful to Dr. Park and Flourish. Thank you for teaching the many effective methods of dealing with lifes many challenges.

I worked as an intern at Flourish Counseling and Wellness for a few years and it was an incredible experience with highly trained staff. The therapists are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I learned so much about using creative ways to help clients. For example, they offer so many unique workshops that I enjoyed taking part in leading, such as mindfulness art therapy. There are a variety of groups coping skills workshops, yoga classes, and nutrition workshops too! This place amazes me and can help so many people with a variety of needs. Highly recommend!

I have been attending weekly Mindful Art Classes for over a year at Flourish and have enjoyed every minute of it! In addition, I have attended a few of their Free Wellness Wednesday workshops and evening Move My Chi Classes. I’ve learned a lot about Mind/Body/Spirit wellness and have integrated it into my everyday life. The people I have met in the workshops and the staff have all enriched my life in many ways. Flourish is a warm, welcoming, safe place. I highly recommend exploring all they have to offer!

Review for Diane Occupational therapist: We have been using Diane to treat our son for several years now. She is a great OT and PT and has done wonders for our son who suffers from quadriplegia and aphasia from a TBI. She is such a cheerleader that everyone who uses her loves the care and attention she provides. Highly recommended!
