How It All Started
 

 

With a heart and compassion to help children, families, and adults struggling with mental health issues, as well as a strong desire to represent Hispanic woman minority business owners, Dr. Christina Villarreal-Davis opened a sole private practice on October 16, 2006. When deciding on the business name, Dr. Villarreal-Davis focused to two of her greatest passions: play therapy and spiritual integration in mental health. The first part of the business name comes from one of her favorite scripture verses found in Proverbs 4:23 which states, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” The rest of the business name relates to the services offered and the therapeutic approach used with young children, play therapy. As such, Wellspring of Life Counseling and Play Therapy Center, PLLC (WOL for short) was established. Over the past 15+ years, Dr. Villarreal-Davis has continued to expand and has moved to four different suites within the same office buildings. She started out with only 180 square feet of office space in her solo practice and moved several times into bigger spaces within the original complex, including the last office space of 3,800+ square feet. In the Spring of 2022, Dr. Villarreal-Davis took a leap of faith and started on the journey to commercial property ownership. On August 5, 2022, she secured Wellspring’s permanent home in the medical center, a 4,600 square foot building that houses 17 providers, 5 supportive office staff, and the best handyman (her husband).
