Name Origin
Winds and storms create waves at sea and can cause hazardous sailing conditions. Throughout history, sailors have been known to use the term 'making waves', which means to cause a significant impression.
At Making Waves Counseling & Wellness, we believe that life can cause unexpected storms or rough conditions for sailing. When navigating our waypoint we often have a hard time finding a sense of direction or lose ourselves when seeking safety. We take pride in creating a significant impression within the Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach areas. We want our clients to possess the skills to take on life's stormy sea's while continuing to create a lasting impression. We will not be labeled as average.
