I Need a Name!

You may have heard that I'm considering going out on my own when my building is finished. If I do that, I'm going to need a name for my practice. I need some suggestions for a good name for a psychology practice which might include the following elements:
  • My name
  • the word, "Psychology"
  • The fact that there are other psychologists involved
Remember that this is a name that will be written on checks, used to answer the phone, printed on business cards, and spoken when people are asked, "where did your [sister, son, parents] go for therapy?"

I can't wait to hear what my creative family comes up with. I'm hoping some will actually be serious replies.

Dear Geret,

This sounds fun! I'm studying marketing to help me get an edge on coming up with things like these. For me to give some good input, please tell us what population you're targeting. Is this more of a family environment? Also, is the atmosphere going to be more soft, hard, funny, serious? I'm happy to give some tidbits.

Here are a few to chew on...
Giles Family Solutions
Giles and Associates Clinic
Giles Affiliates Psychology Care
Family Care by Giles Group
New Family Directions from Giles and Co.
Dr. Giles' "Clinic des Amis"
Giles Group for Counseling
Giles Psychology Clinic
Psychology Perspective, by Giles and Associates
Dr. Giles' "Cozy Chair"

Most are ideas from other clinics around the states.

These are great, Lance! Thanks for the thoughts.

Oh. And, the population is very broad: Families, couples, individuals, adolescents, children.

I don't do pet therapy.

Or make-contact-with-my-dead-relative therapy.

Or trauma-from-another-life therapy.

I really like Dr. G and Company, that way you seem really hip and all those young kids will think you are cool and want to come in to therapy with you. Or tell their parents to go to you because you are so cool. Seriously, Lance gave so many great ideas. I'll think a little bit more on the subject and get back to ya, G-Dawg.

Howabout Giles Psychology and Family Care. Mom

I personnally don't like the word "Clinic" it doesn't sound Professional kinda like the Peace Corp out in the boonies, "Group" sounds like Insurence. Lances' Family Care by Giles Group try "Affiliates" instead of Group How does the word "affilliates" sound on the phone?

A collaboration of minds, hearts, and lives. . . in this family, it's a Zoo!
