Welcome to Blue Lavender Clinical Services

TRUST in the relationship is the most vital element of therapy, and we offer many opportunities for this to gradually emerge and develop between you and your therapist.


Each therapist customizes the treatment that is most productive for you including traditional talk therapy, sand tray therapy, and other unique options. Each approach offers patients a preferred safe space for you to share your personal and challenging issues for your healing journey.


We believe healing begins when a person is accepted for who they are...and as they are at this very moment. From there, we offer opportunities for deeper emotional exploration and healing to emerge.

Every member of the Blue Lavender team offers a compassionate, unique approach to therapy. Patient treatments are initially based upon someone's preliminary mental health condition, but we then customize it with the most productive treatments for their emotional issues.

I Ching, Hexagram #34, "The Well"

“We must go down to the very foundations of life. For any merely superficial ordering of life that leaves its deepest needs unsatisfied is as ineffectual as if no attempt at order had ever been made.”


"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."

This quote emphasizes the importance of expressing our personal stories and the emotional weight that can accompany unexpressed thoughts and experiences.

You can find this quote in Maya Angelou's book, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," published in 1969. This autobiographical work is a powerful exploration of her early life, issues of identity, and the complexities of growing up as a Black woman in America.
