About Dragonfly Way Counseling
Our Mission
My name is Debbie Vallandingham and I’m no stranger to loss. I worked in hospice care for over 12 years, helping individuals and families facing the coming loss of a loved one or working through the grief that follows death. But death isn’t the only loss we experience.
Facing loss is a part of life and something we do every day. There is the loss of connection, loss of employment, loss of relationships, loss of economic freedom, loss of family and even the loss of self. A thriving life is about how we cope with these losses and forge on with living.
And that’s what the dragonfly means to me. The dragonfly represents a change in perspective. It’s a transformation that leads to self-realization, courage, strength, power and poise. The dragonfly symbolizes hope, infinite possibilities and restoration.
