☾ THE STORY BEHIND OUR NAME ☽
Brainstorming the name of this new practice was an exercise in creativity where no name was off limits for consideration and trusting your gut became the judge and jury. We landed on Crescent Counseling for several reasons besides just liking the sound of it. The crescent moon in literature means “to grow” and that is what therapy is ultimately about…ones own personal growth journey. This process is rarely a straight trajectory and so the waxing and waning of the moon comes into play as symbolic of the ups and downs of life.
We also wanted an identity that represents who we are as women - strong and intuitive, yet peaceful and nurturing. Knowing that moon energy is considered feminine energy, including the word crescent in our name felt right on. And lastly, one of the founders of the practice hails from New Orleans which is known as “The Crescent City” because of the shape of the Mississippi River makes as it hugs the French Quarter.
So there you have it….and if you look hard enough, you might even see small nods to our dear crescent moon around the office.
