About Us
Sarah E. Walker, PCC, NCC (Professional Clinical Counselor & National Certified Counselor), is the Founder and President of Willow Arts & Wellness Center. It was her long-time dream to offer holistic services to the public by addressing people's needs pertaining to emotional, mental, physical, and creative health through the venue of an Arts & Wellness Center. Her general philosophy, "Passion is everything!" pairs well with the idea that one should, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined," a quote borrowed from H. Thoreau and a sentiment Sarah strives to attain each day in her own life. Sarah obtained her undergraduate degree from the Baldwin-Wallace Music Conservatory and her graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, and has an extensive background both in Therapeutic Services as well as in the Performing Arts. As such, she is pleased to offer Counseling Sessions in addition to Music Lessons at Willow Arts & Wellness.
