As social workers, therapists and other human service professionals, we support people as they proceed in a path of healing. We have the honor of seeing people reveal the parts of themselves that they have kept hidden behind their “curtain.”

Our blog addresses client needs and situations you may encounter in your work. Our goal is to provide information you can use in practice and to inspire you to learn even more.
