THE DREAM IDENTITY MOVEMENT

 "creatively navigating  systemic success and wellness to become our Dream Identity”

Mission Statement 

At Dream Identity Counseling, our mission is to help individuals and organizations move from survival mode to intentional, whole living. We do this by teaching emotional awareness, accountability, and sustainable wellness through creative, faith-informed, and psychologically sound strategies. Whether we're leading teams through workplace wellness consulting, facilitating Art-to-Heart experiences, or speaking truth from the stage, our goal is simple: to cultivate environments where healing feels human, wellness feels possible, and people are empowered to step fully into who they’re meant to be — their Dream Identity.

​

Vision

Our vision at Dream Identity Counseling is to redefine what wellness looks and feels like in real life — in homes, communities, and workplaces. We envision a world where mental and emotional well-being are not just talked about, but truly lived out through creative expression, culturally relevant education, and faith-rooted guidance. By equipping individuals and organizations with practical tools for self-awareness, resilience, and relational growth, we aim to help people build lives that reflect not just who they are, but who they are becoming — whole, healed, and aligned with purpose.​
