About my logo The logo for my therapy practice is the image of a grafted fruit tree. Grafting is the process of taking a branch from one tree and grafting it on to different tree stock. The idea is that more than one variety of fruit can exist on a single tree.  The host tree can also support new growth. The parallel for healing or therapy is that we maintain our core, our sense of self, and graft into our selves new beliefs, skills, resources and experiences. The three sides of my logo (below) represent grafting, creating and possibilities — processes that we will explore together. |
