Wellness Counseling at Passages is based on  

The Wellness Wheel.     


Research indicates that balance increases the quality of life and longevity. 

Balance puts more years in your life and more life in years.​ 



The Wellness Wheel

 demonstrates balance in the major areas of life.

 Balance increases smoothness and stability as you roll over the inevitable bumps in the road of life.



Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of pathology.




A Message from Kathryn Hood about 

Wellness Counseling at Passages

     I will guide and support you as you work to cope with and/ or resolve the difficult situation you are facing, but that is only one part of Wellness Counseling at Passages. After we have dealt successfully with the issues that brought you to therapy, we will work to improve other aspects of your life. I will not only get you through the hard times, but I will also assist you in enhancing the quality of your life and creating your optimal life style.

 Wouldn't you like to develop your potential 

and create the kind of life you desire - 

a life full of happiness, success and meaning?

      I will guide and support as you work toward balancing your life and developing your potential.  We will work together to set goals in the main areas of your life -  intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical, occupational, and relational.   

      Wellness Counseling focuses on your strengths. We will explore the areas where you are excelling to discover your strong points and build on those to further develop your potential.  In areas that are weaker, we will list ways we can use your strengths to make improvements and work to balance your life.

     I will help you to stay focused and motivate you to persistently and diligently work toward reaching your goals so that you will create the kind of life you wish to have. 

                                                                                  Kathryn Hood, LPC



 Kathryn Hood on Goal Setting


     Setting goals in life is extremely important.  We spend a great deal of time planning vacations or weddings or deciding what college to attend, but rarely do we spend time thinking about and planning the kind of life we desire.  If you never think about what you really want in life, make plans, and head in that direction, you may end up disappointed with how your life turns out.  

     Goals strongly increase your chances of having the quality of life you desire by acting as a decision-making compass. To make wise decisions that keep you on the road to success, you merely have to ask yourself,  "Does my choice of action bring me closer to or farther from reaching my goals?"

     Wellness Counseling offers you the opportunity to reflect on your life, look at where you are and where you want to be in the future. Wellness Counselors will guide you in setting your goals, support you in your journey to achieve them and motivate you to keep going when obstacles get in your way.                                                                     Kathryn Hood, LPC
