Inner Wellness Therapy
Inner Wellness Therapy has two beautiful spaces, one being a child therapy room that provides a welcoming, calm and comfortable atmosphere for children to feel open and relaxed. This children therapy room has a "zen den" that allows children a cozy space to regulate, practice mindfulness strategies and cultivate inner peace.
Our focus has always been on helping children grow in their abilities and confidence, seeing small and ongoing successes, and doing things they never thought possible.
