Dear Wildflower Community,
As the year draws to a close, we reflect on the many moments that have shaped the journey of this past year. There is something deeply poignant about this time of year – a natural pause for renewal and reflection. It is a time when many of us look back on what has been, while also looking forward with hope for what is to come.
In psychotherapy, this invitation to pause and embrace fresh starts is woven into its very fabric. Every therapy session offers an opportunity for a new beginning, a chance to choose how we show up in the world, and the possibility for transformation.
At its core, psychotherapy is an expression of faith in the human capacity for change and growth. As Viktor Frankl so eloquently put it, “Between every stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” It is in that space where we find our power: the ability to reflect and to choose. This is the essence of what we witness in our clients every day, and it is what makes our work as therapists so profoundly meaningful.
As we reflect on the past year, we are reminded of the incredible privilege it has been to accompany so many of you on your journey. 2024 has marked a special milestone for us – the celebration of Wildflower’s 10th anniversary. Ten years of healing, connecting, learning, and growing together. In that time, we’ve been honored to walk alongside hundreds of clients, each on their own unique path toward greater self-understanding, purpose, and well-being.
We want to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to each of you – our clients, fellow providers, colleagues, and team members. You are the heart of Wildflower. Without your presence, your trust, and your willingness to embark on this transformative journey, none of this would be possible.
Looking ahead, we are filled with optimism and energy. As we enter this next decade of our operations, we remain committed to our mission: to provide a compassionate space for healing, honor the strength and beauty within each person, and continue fostering growth, connection, and purpose for all who walk through our doors.
With warmth and gratitude,
Aga Grabowski and Chrissy Ellis
