Why ‘Nutricula’? The Inspiration Behind Our Name
​
Nutricula Psychology is named after a remarkable jellyfish known for its ability to return to its youthful state after maturity. Just like the Nutricula jellyfish, we believe in the human capacity for renewal, healing, and growth no matter where you begin.
​
Research shows that when we nurture our mental health and care for our brains, we can live longer, fuller lives even up to 140 years. At Nutricula Psychology, we’re here to walk with you on that journey.
