Welcome to our virtual mindful haven at Great Lakes Therapy Center, led by compassionate therapists devoted to guiding individuals on a journey of self-discovery, mental clarity, and emotional well-being through deepening their own mindfulness and meditation practice. Mindfulness helps us cultivate awareness of the present moment, which enables us to navigate life challenges with clarity, compassion, and resilience. 

In an increasingly connected yet often hectic world, we invite you to participate in nurturing a mindful moment in the heart of our community. Developing consistency with a mindfulness practice can often present its unique challenges. Our virtual mindfulness space aims to facilitate community and connection to those interested in deepening their practice.

Our space is for those seeking relief from anxiety, coping with stress or aiming for a deeper understanding of oneself. Our online meditation space offers a supportive community where individuals can strive toward nurturing emotional well-being and balance by participating in a weekly community meditation with fellow like-minded individuals.
