I would like to find a greek or latin word or phrase that sounds pleasing, is easy to pronounce, and that means something related to the goals of a counseling practice, such as:
"To Walk With"
"Wholeness"
"Healing"
"Hand in Hand"
Would love to have an email conversation with anyone who can help out.

If you are trying to come up with a name or motto for your practice, translating those you gave literally will probably not sound very good to an English speaker, and they wouldn't make much sense to someone who knows Latin.
To help your search, try these wikipedia phrase lists:
Latin:

Greek:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_phrases
Be careful when you ask for Greek because ancient and modern are different. Latin words or phrases will be more familiar sounding to English speaking Americans than Greek ones.
Here are a few random Latin words I came up with to give a few more ideas. I tried to think of things that might relate to the virtues and goals of counselors. Maybe between these and those on the pages above you will find something you like.
"Truth" = Veritas
"Trust" = Fiducia or Fides
"Health" = Valetudo
"Unity" = Unitas
"Heal" (intransitive verb) = Sanescere
"Heal" (intransitive, for wounds) = Coalescere
"Virtue" = Virtus
"Hope" = Spes
per aspera ad astra
I like this if you're looking for a phrase. It means "through hardships to the stars". It is also the motto of NASA.
Note that all letters are pronounced in Latin, and c's are hard. (e.g. fiducia = fiduKia)

othigos means the man who shows you the way
simvoulos is the counselor
voithos is the helper and voithia is help
psihi is soul
heri is the greek word for hand
I f you need any more help feel free to ask

The only thing that comes to mind is "mano en mano" (hand in hand), but that's Spanish. Look in the back of your dictionary. There is usually some profound Latin and Greek phraseology. You may find something similar to your meanings. Also check with the public library, or go on the web. Good luck. I hope you find what you're looking for.

I'm greek and i speak latin lol.
here
to walk with- ambulare una
wholeness- the closest there is is the whole. Omnis

healing - salutaris (Latin)
"to walk" ambulare
if you want to say with, you're going to have to say with what, for Latin.
completeness - integritas (Latin)
dextra in dextra (hand in hand, literally, right hand in right hand, but to a Roman, dextra in dextra conjures up working together for a common goal.)
