A Place in the Conversation

Daniel Nicewonger

A Place in the Conversation (APITC) is dedicated to helping facilitate the restoration of relationship that leads to healing and transformation. We believe true transformation begins when each person finds their “place in the conversation.” A place where they can speak freely, are truly heard, and learn from the experiences of others. We invite you to journey with us.
