The Well Story
The Well was a seed that grew out of a desire to (1) see Downtown Mesa flourish and (2) for everyone to have access to creative, embodied, and high level quality therapy. The vision for The Well became a reality throughout 2020 and by December of that year The Well’s doors opened! Since that opening some things have grown, shifted, changed, ebb’d and flow’d – but the same source that watered the seed….is still at work in Downtown Mesa and at The Well today.
Brittany had a vision to see both clients and therapists be cared for and created a financial model that The Well still operates within. For every 2 clients that receive therapy at a regular fee, 1 client is able to receive the same high quality services at a very low, accessible fee. This 2-for-1 model has provided thousands of hours of low-fee sessions (while still experiencing high quality care) over the last 5 years!
Brittany continues to own and run The Well with a team of creative therapists! The space and community that has developed continues to be a welcoming and warm place that invites everyone that enters to take a breath, have a snack, and slow down. Healing is possible – for everyone.
We believe that quality healing work begins with each individual story.
Most of our stories have a level of trauma that creates barriers to connection, trust, intimacy, and growth in one or more areas of life, whether it is internally or externally felt. Trauma can be past abuse including: neglect, physical, emotional, sexual, psychological abuse. Trauma can also be a single incident that makes us feel unsafe and affects our brain and body’s sense of safety. We believe that going to the source of symptoms, to the trauma, is the best way to relieve pain and restore our connection with ourselves and others.
The Well is focused on addressing and processing trauma. This means that we will walk through many phases of healing to get to the root of the problem. Our hope is that each client resolves the chaos/pain that keeps them from experiencing peace within and affects relationships to others. For some that can take 6 months, for others a couple of years. We are ready to go on this long, deep journey of healing with you.
