Types of Counseling
No Straight Paths in the Woods
There are no straight paths in the woods. Thatโs true of therapy. And thatโs the way it should be. One can rarely see that far ahead, but one can dream it.
Into the woods – like so many beloved fairy tales (and like much of Michigan).
It can be a place to face things, maybe even fearful things, or perhaps a place to rest, relax, recount, explore, hunt, dare, and dreamโa place for wonder and magic.
