Our Origin
You may have noticed a character in the heart of the sun in our logo - it is a Chinese character written in a traditional font, and the last name of our owner's late father-in-law, Mr. Liu. The character is made of two parts, the left means "literature and culture", and the right "martial arts". Together it means a person who has merits and gifts in both worlds. We had been talking about creating our own practice and growing into a space where diverse therapists serve the various needs of individuals in Illinois, but were dragging our feet a little - entrepreneurship seemed daunting. Mr. Liu, a small business owner himself, was very excited to hear about the idea and was always very encouraging and supportive of us starting a counseling practice. However, he didn't live to see the day when we registered our business and opened our doors. He was a man who lived through the cultural revolution depraved of education opportunities but made the best out of the resources he had, and his dream was always to help his children obtain knowledge and education to his best ability. Through his entrepreneurial efforts he sent all three children to college - first generation in the family. We added his last name and calligraphy to our logo in honor of his support and encouragement.
