The Significance of the Lotus

The lotus is a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings. It is an awe inspiring flower that emerges from muddy river waters every morning to bloom fresh, clean and vibrant. Due to this miraculous nature, it has gained much significance in many Eastern cultures and was first noticed by the ancient Egyptians. They were fascinated to see a flower that went back into the water at night and pushed back out in the morning. Ancient Egyptians depicted the lotus symbol in many of their artwork and used to represent higher numbers such as one thousand or two thousand. 

How we are different

There is no one way to approach therapy. Adaptability is key and being able to meet client needs is the most important factor for us. 

For example, you might feel upset about how much you are procrastinating in your classes, feeling distant from home, have difficult co-workers, or family members and find yourself either not saying enough or saying too much. Is this a problem with communication? Emotional regulation? Are you burning out? Should you take medication? Do you need a diagnosis? These are common questions clients come in with and they want direction. They want to know what they should do and what would help them. 

Because we work from a trauma-informed lens, we understand that all of those questions matter and you need help navigating them. While some therapists do not work from diagnostic lenses, we try to incorporate both holistic and scientific lenses so that you can feel a sense of direction and gain tools/strategies to help you pull yourself out of a frustrating time.

Environmentally Friendly

With virtual therapy, we are able to play a part in reducing carbon emissions. It may be a small part that our clinic plays but there are millions of therapists and each therapist has over 100 clients a year. The amount of commuting that occurs can add up. Telemedicine during COVID-19 reduced 17,000 tonnes of Green House Gases! CO2 in particular is not able to be destroyed environmentally. It hangs in the air and becomes parts of the ocean, land or atmosphere.
