Wholistic Counseling
Nature-Based Counseling in Atlanta & North Georgia Mountains.
Nature-Based Counseling in Atlanta, GA
As a synaGaia, we serve our Atlanta community in understanding and working to meet their emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. We blend Buddhist, Taoist, and Druidic wisdom with modern Non-Violent Communication practices to create a one-of-a-kind therapeutic offering. Each session is tailored specifically to your needs. If you enjoy nature, we offer counseling in various natural settings in Atlanta and Northwest Georgia. We conduct our sessions on private mountain land and we offer house visits to clients in the Metro Atlanta Area. We do not diagnose mental health illnesses, and we do not treat diagnosed illnesses. Instead, we focus on your fundamental human needs and the strategies you take to meet your needs. Our counselors are trained in Empath*ology - the science and spirit of Empathy.
