MY MISSION
I believe that healing and optimal mental health and wellbeing come from utilizing integrative and holistic approaches in our work together.
This is An Anti-Racism, Social Justice, Mission-Driven Practice Working Towards Diversity, Equity And Inclusion.
HOLISTIC & INTEGRATIVE COUNSELING FOR OVERALL WELLBEING
Lotus Point Wellness was originally envisioned by Marie Caterini (Choppin), LCSW-C, LICSW, the founder and director, as a brave and safe space where holistic and integrative healing approaches could be offered together to support people on their journey towards wholeness, healing and overall wellbeing.
In 2020 with increased awareness of the racial injustice and disparities and devastation of the impact of Covid-19, Lotus Point Wellness and all it’s staff also took on the additional mission of working towards becoming a more vocal anti-racism, social justice-oriented healing practice in which Black Lives Matter and all BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse people feel safe, heard, respected and valued.
Now, in 2025, Lotus Point Wellness, Inc. is now back to being a solo practice owned by Marie Caterini (Choppin), LCSW-C. She works from her home office and she continues to espouse the same values.
MY CORE VALUES REFLECT THIS COMMITMENT.
Ultimately, my mission is to help all people develop inner resiliency, heal current and historical trauma, find authenticity in living, develop safety and security in their relationships along with techniques that connect mind, emotion, body, and spirit.
I believe in taking an approach that is collaborative, integrative and holistic, using proven approaches to relationship wellness, healing and healthy living.
My integrative and holistic approach includes counseling along with meditation, breathing techniques, expressive arts and connecting clients to the support of a network of local healing practitioners who provide nutrition, acupuncture, yoga, herbal medicine, and Reiki. These services can help you and/or your relationship in managing stress, anxiety, depression and other elements that may be preventing you from living a contented, fulfilled and balanced life.
My approach is collaborative and we will work together to find your own pathways toward healing, wholeness and wellbeing.
On a philosophical level, I have always looked through a lens of health and wellness and secure attachment versus pathology. Ultimately, I believe that the human spirit is incredibly strong and everyone has the capability to make their life better and overcome their struggles through compassion, understanding and connection to themselves and others AND within community, thus undoing aloneness on their journey.
