Orchid Island Wellness and Counseling

"I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, flow and the best person to identify what that is.... is YOU! Counseling can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance. I take a more eclectic approach that is centered on the clients so they can flourish in a space that is unique to them as a whole person, that is discreet and catered to their identifiable goals on their journey to mental wellness." "I offer concierge level counseling both in person or in a virtual setting for those struggling with life challenges, self-identified traumatic experiences, mental and behavioral disorders. I recognize that the first step to seeking mental health support is for some can be a difficult personal decision. To honor that- I diligently make an effort be available 24/7 by phone, text, or access to our immediate scheduling platform. I recognize that the journey to mental and emotional wellness starts with you, your goals, and the right team." "When I am not supporting my clients, I am enjoying the warmth Florida offers enjoying the beach, paddle boarding, and kayaking, with her partner." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bonnie is a licensed clinical social worker and Navy veteran professionally educated from Columbia University School of Social Work in the advanced practice of health, mental health, and disabilities.
