It takes courage to explore what could be, to reach for something better. To heal takes vulnerability, connection. . . and intention. At Birch Grove, none of this is taken lightly and your history, your whole personhood, is honored in the counseling process. Your creativity, self-compassion, and resilience are found in every chapter of your story.

Contrary to what society may reinforce, personal growth and healing happens in the trusted places we share together.  We are known through our story and lost without telling it.

Birches symbolize renewal, protection and growth. They are found in groves, always together. They are adaptive and persevering, surviving in the most inhospitable environments.

Representative, I think, of humanity and how much we are capable of in connection. The birch tree teaches us a bit about being, about community, about beginnings and endings and all that lies between.

Birches are individually beautiful. . . and magnificent together. As are we. As are you.

In order to grow. . . we must be known. 

If growth is what you seek, come and be known.
