Everyone has a unique story, and often, the plot is rooted in experiences that are out of our control, like trauma, marginalization, or challenging life transitions. But we have the power to make decisions about what happens next and move toward our most authentic lives, even if that first step feels overwhelming. If you’re looking for a therapist to support you on your unique healing journey, while seeing the bigger picture – you’re in the right place. You deserve to show up to show up exactly as you are, with every piece of your identity being accepted and valued, and you’ll find that at Ala Therapy Collective.
We’re a flock of clinicians, joined by a commitment to out-of-the-box (or out-of-the-birdcage), person-centered therapy. We offer a variety of evidence-based modalities and approaches to help you find positive and practical solutions to any number of life stressors and problematic situations, while feeling safe, heard, and respected.
In therapy you’ve got to be able to take risks and be vulnerable in a true partnership with your therapist. Each and every therapist in our flock provides a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing environment where you are free to spread your wings and be your true, authentic self. Are you ready to take flight?
