About Our Logo

Everything is fighting its own battles like trees in a storm. But there is something below the surface that keeps them fighting. Trees are a symbol of life and balance. However, without roots they cannot survive and grow to their true potential. Roots symbolize stability and strength.

The color blue represents both the sky and the sea which are associated with Intuition, imagination, and inspiration. Further blue represents depth, wisdom, confidence, and stability.

Together these values are the cornerstone of mental health treatment.
