You can expect a judgement free, welcoming space, to address, explore and positively grow within your mental health needs and and desires.
Genuine Way Family Therapy is a woman owned business in Eau Claire. We pride ourselves on practicing what we encourage others to do; focus on balance and self-care. Therefore, we do not overbook our schedules. This allows us to get new clients seen in a very short turnaround time, from initial contact. We have made our office space a place of comfort, very intentionally. You can expect a relaxed, comfy, down-to-earth atmosphere when you are within our office. Whether you want to sit on the floor, lay on the couch, doodle in a notebook, or move around during sessions, we are happy to meet you in that space of comfort.
