About Nova Luna Center
Transformation has a quiet potency, like a rolling wave – enduring, repeatable and endless – the ebb and flow is cyclic like the breath. As long as we are breathing, there is life and there is hope."
- Michelle Villanti LCSW, Clinical Director
Nova Luna helps individuals uncover and discover their true selves, learning new tools and experientially incorporating those tools into their everyday lives.
Our philosophy holds our client's own sense of empowerment at the center of the healing and recovery process. By empowering people to be their own guides and healers, they embark on a journey of self-discovery that is sustainable, and will support them for the rest of their lives.
We invite our clients to develop their inherent wisdom and gifts, and encourage them to express themselves within our program. As a result, their story becomes part of the collective process of healing within our compassionate community.
