Why LACUNA Exist’s
Lacuna Counseling is a center for wholeness. It was a seed planted many years ago and has flourished into a mental health wellness center that brings together components of not just the mind but the body and soul.
Connecting all three to heal your deepest needs.
The goal at the center is to create ways for you to feel seen, heard and understood while also learning how to tap into your wisdom and intuition. Gaining the confidence to trust yourself again along the way.
Life is hard enough to navigate and you should not have to go through it alone.
The full intention of Lacuna Counseling, is that you are at the center of your wholeness.
My goal with all my clients is to individualize your needs, provide trust and security and create a safe space as you as you learn and grow into your truest form of self.

About The Founder
Hi, I'm Amy, the founder and owner of LACUNA - a center for wholeness.
The intention with building LACUNA is that you are at the center of your wholeness and to create an environment where you feel safe and validated as you learn and grow into your truest form of self.
I myself was getting sick of going from place to place to place to work on myself and so I decided to create it instead!
My aspirations for LACUNA is that this will eventually be a “one stop shop” experience that ties together growth and healing for your mind, body & soul. The ultimate goal is to truly bring all modalities of healing together under one roof and create community in the process. Community being a piece of the healing process that is often overlooked.
