Depending on the therapist, Wiser Ground can accommodate clients ages 13 and up, including adolescents and adults of all ages.  Please see our “Counseling Page” for a list of issues, conditions, and concerns we can help you address. 

At Wiser Ground, we pride ourselves on our responsiveness and have a broad array of skills and specialties.  As such, it is our intention to ensure each client has the right fit with their therapist in order to meet their unique goals.
