Where It Started

The journey of Onward Counseling began in academic settings, where our founder discovered the profound connection between mental health and life’s uncertainties. After experiencing the transformative power of therapy firsthand, she was inspired to create a space where others could experience the same growth and healing. That’s why Onward Counseling was born – to offer compassionate care tailored to each client’s unique journey.
