What might be an original, welcoming name for a Counseling office?

I was thinking using part of the second half of your name till I saw where you are. How about Symbiosis?

I personally would be turned off by too cutsie a name.

I too vote for only your name, your degree and the list of counselling and therapeutic services you provide. Are you a solo operation? Keep it short and professional. No whimsy.

My hesitation about just using my name is that I could someday, way down the line, want to sell the buisness….perhaps. I also may use the name for blogs, and other materials as well. But yes, I agree, nothing too cutsie.

Solving Together

As one who named a lot of companies, services and products in my advertising career, I vote for simpler is better because there are way too many brand names out there. I suggest your name, title, and a short tag line underneath succinctly explaining what you’re offering, for example “Professional counseling for all ages.”

Also…You’ll save yourself potentisl trademark/copyright infringement headaches by keeping your company name simple.

I am with @marinelife and @gailcalled on this. I would never see a counselor at a practice with a catchy name, counseling is a serious thing. My friends who have retired and sold their practices have essentially brought in a partner then left. They “sold” the client list (with each client’s permission) and had the new person take over the lease. It wasn’t like selling a store. And what @Pachy said.

Good luck with your new practice, I wish you every success.
