About Us

Fernview Center for Well Being evolved over the last decade as a place of acceptance, support, and healing for any individual seeking awareness and growth through life’s transitions. We are committed to providing a peaceful refuge for the enlightenment and growth of mind, body, and spirit. Through psychotherapy, educational programs, and integrative medical therapies we aspire to promote the health and wellness of all beings and our environment.

Research studies have comprehensively demonstrated the optimal benefits of engaging in health practices to balance the body and mind coupled with traditional western medical treatments. This is Integrative Medicine at its best! Regular practices of relaxation and stress management techniques including Progressive Relaxation, Meditation, Reiki, Tai Chi, and Yoga have clearly been shown to promote an overall improvement in health and well being.

In addition to the opportunities through Fernview Center for Well Being, we have onsite 8 fully licensed counselors to help individuals in private sessions through Stress Management Center (call 864-225-0792 to schedule) which evolved out of a practice initially started by Dr. John Martin, Psychiatrist and Family Practice Medical Doctor and Dr. Harry Diamant, a Licensed Clinical Counselor for 26 years. Dr. Martin was diagnosed in March of 2008 with terminal cancer. He received aggressive treatment, but ultimately, he passed away late in the spring of 2008. As we continue our work supporting others, we take time to reflect on the abundance that life offers and the importance of living life with the awareness of how stress affects our daily lives. For more information on the Stress Management Center's clinicians and the integrative medical therapies we offer, please check out our informational booklet!
