We all have lived experiences, life choices, and developmental stages which have shaped our story. Seeking therapy, or counseling, can carry a negative stigma in some families and communities. We work to change this perspective, especially concerning issues with youth, families, and racially-diverse communities. We work from a holistic perspective that includes attention to your physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and relational well-being. Our Therapists have a rich blend of experiences including: residential treatment, child welfare, adoption/foster care, parenting support, substance use, family care,& community mental health.
We are racially and culturally-sensitive providers. We exhibit a down to earth approach and utilize talk therapy and various activities as part of sessions to keep clients engaged and working on the change process. See the MEET US page on our website for the specifics about each therapist, peer support specialist, and case manager.
We celebrate you for taking a first step in life change. It is our goal that you will feel welcome and safe to share. This will help you get the most out of the time with your chosen therapist. We are excited to meet you, hopeful about the work we will do together, and we look forward to your contact.
