Yet, you might think that the name Encanto comes from a recent movie; this is far from the truth.  Finding the name for Encanto Wellness Center took a little bit of time and thought.  I went over many different names before the word Encanto crossed my mind.  I wanted to choose a name representing care, compassion, and safety.  And then it hit me, Encanto.  The Island where I grew up is popularly called Encanto Island.  So naming the wellness center “Encanto” is a celebration of elderly people who provided me with care, compassion, and safety growing up—making these three qualities the principal foundation for a place designed for healing and growth. 

An Open Door For Healing & Growth

In simple words, Encanto Wellness Center is a great tool to support your healing journey. A healing journey that begins right after a traumatic experience occurs. As a trauma therapist, I have assisted children, teens, adults, and families with dealing and coping with trauma. Clients often mention the necessity of leaving their past behind and “moving on” after a traumatic experience. However, “triggers and other symptoms” always seem to get in their way. Continuing with daily life tasks gets harder and harder. And searching for help feels overwhelming as this task represents trusting again. So, we wanted to design a space where people can work with the trauma experience at their own pace. You know, a “Judgment Free Zone,” like the catchphrase of a gym where I used to work—teaching them healthy coping mechanisms to lessen the symptoms and help them heal. 

The Vision

From the beginning, the primary idea was to create a space for hope, healing, and growth.  Space that serves as a “container” for each story as we recognize and respect every person’s unique life experience.  The vision was for clients of different ages to find reasons to thrive despite their past traumas or life experiences.  In addition, we wanted to provide quality counseling services by integrating evidence-based treatment with a client-centered, trauma-focused and cultural components approach.
