ABOUT US
L & L COUNSELING & WELLNESS LLC PHILOSOPHY
We are all travelers in this lifetime. Everyone is traveling to the same destination, but all benefit from a guide/professional support. We pass no judgment, we only meet people where they are at and where they wish to be. Let's get you to where you wish to be.
We do encourage holistic and alternative methods to get to your goals, but are not against traditional approaches and in fact combing clinical with alternative to have the best outcomes. Be prepared to put in the work. There will be homework, and it will be challenging. It could in fact be the most difficult thing that you do, but it is in your best interest, as well as those around you that you put in the effort and commit to positive change.
ALLISON KAMINSKI, MA LMHC, Owner
I started this journey to help people. What I found was a path to my own healing. I think it is true when they say that counselors are often wounded healers. Therapy is truly a gift and am so glad that it such a big part of my life, professionally and personally.
