Change in the Air

There are puddles on the ground and a warmth in the breeze around here…winter is gone and spring has a firm hold on our world. The grass may have some snow on it yet…but the grass that is already exposed has a green tinge to it…it is ALIVE!!

Have you guessed that my favoritest season, by far, is springtime. I’m in my glory.

But the new season is not the only thing that’s new around here at Bergen & Associates Counselling. We are planning some new digs.

Beginning April 25^th, we will be seeing clients at our new location, 1483 Pembina Highway. We’re half a flight down and to the right in room 105–spacious rooms with high ceilings, and that warm spring sunshine streaming through the windows. I picked up the keys last week, and spent Friday night with some of my tribe washing walls and getting them ready to paint.

All good things must come to an end. Bergen & Associates Counselling has had an excellent partnership with Reimer Advertising. They have been great people to share an office with…and I’ve hung out with them for 11 years now. They’ve answered my phone many times, I’ve answered theirs when needed. We’ve had picnics, parties, farewells. They’ve had patience for me during a season when I was stretched so thin, that it may have been their grace that helped me not to snap completely. We’ve laughed together, and on occasion, cried together. I’d like to think that we were good for them, too. But the space we’ve shared together for all these years fits all of us….and they are changing the way they do business and don’t need the space anymore. We’re grateful for the companionship and great working relationship we’ve had…but we are ready to launch into a place all our own!

So we are growing up as a business. It’s wonderful! We’re excited to be moving into this space. It’s bright and freshly done, and fits us perfectly. I can hardly wait.

We’re 4 minutes closer to downtown, but still a convenient drive away from all the suburbs that we service…Fort Garry, Whyte Ridge, LindenWoods, Richmond West. Even places like St. Vital aren’t far away. Those that come from out of town to see us will find that we are still close to Bishop Grandin, and close to McGillvray.

Other than our address, not much will change…same furniture, same therapists, same quality counselling.

Change can be a little stressful…the “to do” list around here looong. But like spring, which brings the promise of fresh energy and new life, we are looking forward to the changes this move brings.

Bring the change on!
