Cresco Counseling – Therapy for Growth & Healing
At Cresco Counseling, we believe in the power of growth, healing, and new beginnings. The name "Cresco" means "to grow," "to increase," and "to arise" in Latin—symbolizing hope, transformation, and personal development through therapy.
We specialize in individual and family therapy for youth, the LGBTQIA+ community, and women navigating life transitions, including marriage, divorce, career changes, perimenopause, and menopause. Our trauma-informed, affirming approach ensures a safe space for self-discovery, emotional well-being, and lasting change.
