About Cornerstone Healing
Established in 2017 in Scottsdale, Arizona, Cornerstone Healing Center was inspired by Estil Wallace, who, after his journey to recovery, was compelled to provide a platform for others to experience the same transformative healing that reshaped his life. With an intuitive understanding of the essentials for lasting recovery, Estil convened a dedicated team which has grown remarkably from its modest origins.
At Cornerstone, we underline the importance of:
Authentic human connection: We believe meaningful relationships are crucial for successful recovery.
Character development and integrity: We foster a nurturing environment for our clients to grow and evolve, emphasizing the value of honesty and strong moral principles.
The willingness to change and heal: We encourage our clients to embrace change as the first step towards their healing journey.
Accountability: We promote responsibility for one’s actions, as it empowers individuals during their recovery.
Learning to embrace challenges: We instill resilience in our clients, teaching them the value of perseverance and growth from adversity.
Giving back to the community: We advocate the practice of altruism, encouraging our clients to contribute positively to society as part of their recovery process.
