Meet The Journey Team
Journey counseling is a group of independent LIKE-MINDED professionals.
Our name and logo embody our belief that this life is a journey to be enjoyed. We all have periods when we feel lost or can't find the path we are looking for. In those times, it is helpful to have guidance - like a compass that points us in the direction we want to go, counseling can provide clarity and help get us back on the road to health.
