How We Can Support You

Picture
Therapy for
Individuals, Couples, and Families


Create a space with your therapist to explore, express, and get support around all that's going on in your life right now. Having someone who is there for you every week can bring relief, personal growth, and new insight while also creating lasting change in your life.

Therapy Groups

Whether looking for support and connection from peers or working within a budget, groups can offer you a space to explore and grow. In each group there is time to share, express, and support one another with the guidance of a qualified therapist.

Coaching Programs

If you are more interested in short term, solution focused work, our coaching programs might be a good fit! Some reasons coaching might be good for you  include wanting to incorporate mindfulness practices into your life, overcoming social anxiety, or developing a better daily routine. Having someone to help motivate and support you along the way makes it much easier!

Our Mission
When you join our community...
we want you to walk away from the first session feeling more hopeful than you did
before you walked through the door or met your therapist online.

When we look at the bigger picture...
we hope to bring psychotherapy to everyone, from a contemplative and mindfulness based approach, in a way that normalizes access to mental health services
in every day life.
