Our Philosophy
Both olive and oak trees are known for their resilience and ability to withstand adverse conditions.
An olive branch is also a symbol of peace. Inner peace is a state of psychological calm that can be a goal in therapy. It can help us to face what we need to face, reject bad habits and pursue the things that contribute to our goals. Inner peace can also help us to be kinder to ourselves and to others and to be more present. This helps us to function better in our daily lives and it strengthens relationships.
An oak tree stands strong and firm. It reminds us that our roots give us what we need to withstand life’s storms and to grow from difficulties.
Like the olive and oak, our brains are naturally wired to reorganize and adapt (neuroplasticity), which enables resilience, and allows us to bounce back from setbacks and adversity. Sometimes we need help to process memories or emotions in order to facilitate our brain’s natural healing properties.
