“In 2004, we (Andy & Melody Yarborough) began talking about the possibility of starting
a practice that focused on treating the whole person. “Whole person” for us means
focusing on and integrating a person’s physical health, soul health, relationships, and
spiritual/existential growth in the treatment process. In addition, we wanted to help
people discern how to live when the problem went away. Melody and I knew that
appropriate training was necessary, so Mel earned a Master’s degree in nursing and I
completed a doctoral degree in psychology full time for a bit to work in the church
world. Each experience was beneficial. With each new experience, we became better
at integrating different aspects of treatment and growth-oriented approaches to help
people towards hope, wellness, and more meaningful lives.” - Andy Yarborough,
