History

Established in 1981.

Established as a non-​profit in 1981 by Alan Levin, MFT, who saw a great need to facilitate a deeper connection to the natural world in helping people struggling with addictions. Since then, Holos has built a counseling center upon a model of healing that takes into account one’s relationship to their immediate environment, the impact of the place during formative years, and the the possibility of employing nature based techniques in helping people discover a sense of true belonging, ease and purpose in life.
