At Wellness Associates we know that everyone is capable of growing stronger, happier, and healthier in their relationships. Growing out of the practice of Dr. Katie Steele, the group practice of Wellness Associates focuses on holistic care of mind, body and spirit.  We believe counseling can foster a sense of inner safety which allows clients to reflect on the patterns in their lives which may have limited their well-being.  All of us grow up with coping strategies we've adopted to protect ourselves from perceived harm, sometimes without even realizing it.  Those coping strategies may well have served us in the past, but often hinder us in our present circumstances.  Dr. Steele's focus is on relationships, helping to sort out what works and what might not be working so well in the important relationships in one's life.  The therapists who work with Dr. Steele at Wellness Associates are like-minded in their interest in helping clients strengthen their positive relationship skills and release the patterns that have become problematic.  In addition, all are dedicated to ongoing training to offer the most powerful therapeutic tools to facilitate that process for their clients.  Several of these powerful tools are Interpersonal Psychotherapy,  EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Group Psychotherapy,  and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
