Group: Validation + Perspective Taking + Problem Solving = Wisdom

I provide group therapy for adults and adolescents with extreme emotions. I bring people together in small group settings to understand extreme emotions, behave with self-respect, consider various perspectives, and make wise decisions.

I really don't know! In my office I tend to have neutral colors, green and brown. I don't know that brown would be the best for a logo. Various shades of green, perhaps (I have to redo my website and need new colors), or an earthy feel with green and brown enhancements. I would consider green and blue but a darker blue. I also tend to gravitate towards purple, so green and purple might be an option. My website is currently www.reneehoekstra.com. I think my current picture is too "cartoony" and I want something more elegant and upscale to have less "playful" appeal and be more in tuned with a larger and more mature audience. The green used below would need to be darker, it has too much yellow in it.

I'm a bit at a loss. One way would be to use my name or initials, but I'm not sure that is too "simple." I would love the idea of conveying the power of working together in a group, but I don't know if that could be done in a way that isn't overly complex. Sometimes certain fonts are aesthetically pleasing to me, but perhaps are too congested if there is too much wording.
