Oak Tree Counseling
Circa 1904
If picture does not appear, click here.
Oak Tree Counseling is an association of independent therapists, such as psychologists, marriage and family therapists and clinical social workers, who draw on each others’ separate talents and experiences to provide quality treatment. It is located in one of Monrovia’s many wonderful historic homes. The house was built in 1904 by William Johnson, an employee of Lucky Baldwin, and was used as a residence until modern times. It was converted to counseling offices in 1987. All efforts were made to preserve its historic, warm and friendly ambiance. Coming into the waiting room is like traveling back to the turn of the last century. But don’t worry; the counseling is modern and very up-to-date.
