Wisdom Path, PLLC Counseling and Wellness Services

Wisdom Path, PLLC Counseling and Wellness Services Wisdom Path is an integrative psychology practice providing assessment and treatment to children and How are we different from other practices?

1.

Research shows that psychotherapy, when done well, changes neurological patterns and promotes true healing. We believe that treatment needs to take into consideration the whole person: physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual. Research also shows that to make lasting changes, people need to practice new behaviors often. Assessment: Rather than a quick screening, every client gets a thorough

evaluation including an interview and psychological testing to clarify what unique strengths and challenges they have and to plan an individualized treatment.
2. Evidence based, collaborative treatment: Treatment plans are multifaceted. Our therapists collaborate with each other to address all aspects of the client’s needs. For example, we may have one therapist providing individualized evidence based individual therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, while another conducts a marital workshop the client attends to address the impact of these problems on her marriage. Still another therapist provides daily skills coaching including relaxation and mindfulness training. We may also refer the client for research based treatments like massage, yoga, nutritional counseling, or other complimentary therapies. Therapists communicate with each other regularly, monitor clients’ progress, and modify the plan as needed. In addition to treatment for the usual types of problems such as depression and bipolar disorder, Panic Disorder, phobias, OCD, PTSD, and ADHD, we also host groups, clinics and trainings on a variety of topics which impact client’s lives: grief, parenting, marital issues, emotional eating, smoking cessation, compulsive behaviors, chronic pain, meditation, etc.

3. Emphasis on training and supervision: We see it as our responsibility to provide other therapists with training and supervision to improve the quality of services at other agencies for our community. We train train interns and provide supervision and consultation for other therapists.

Healing Childhood Wounds: Reclaiming Your Core Self
Saturday September 13, 2025 9 am - 5 pm

I am so excited to welcome my co-facilitator, Jessica Durivage https://www.instagram.com/jessicadurivage/ for this day long retreat. Jessica is a transformational leader, ceremonialist, Qoya facilitator, and Director of Online Programming at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. As a certified Qoya facilitator, Jessica weaves movement, ceremony, and sacred storytelling into immersive experiences that awaken intuition and reconnect us with the wisdom of the body, the earth, and the unseen.

Qoya is a movement system based on the idea that through movement, we remember. We remember our essence is wise, wild, and free. Qoya Inspired Movement is an embodiment practice that weaves together thirteen different pillars to welcome all aspects of ourselves, bringing mind, body, heart and soul into awareness. Qoya classes are a place to strengthen our inherent resilience and both rest in and experience our essence.

I am thrilled that Jessica’s offering of Qoya for this retreat will facilitate a reawakening in our bodies of a deep knowing of our own Divine essence.

Wisdom Path is heartbroken about the devastation in western NC from Hurricane Helene. So many have experienced trauma and loss. Our community has been so inspirational in coming together to help each other with donations of food, water, and supplies. But, as therapists, we know the emotional needs will continue for months. We are trying to help by converting our Scholarship Fund to give priority to individuals who have been directly impacted through having experienced/witnessed life threatening trauma or loss of loved ones/loss or loss of job/insurance. If you need counseling for these issues, please call our office at 828-475-6544. You can download the scholarship application from our website: https://www.wisdompathnc.com/_files/ugd/f73bb5_bb7aefdb42f042eebc2663b2bf7780ce.pdf
