Are you looking for therapy that blends evidence based strategies with deep, mindfulness-informed exploration? Welcome. We are a group practice in South Pasadena who serves adults, teens and couples who want to feel more ease and compassion while also staying tethered to their goals. Our areas of focus include anxiety, eating disorders, couples work and perinatal mental health. We are also experienced in supporting artists, creative professionals and people in high stress careers.
We are home to therapists with advanced training in somatic therapy, attachment informed couples therapy, CBT and DBT, and we each offer a therapy experience that blends this knowledge to match your temperament and needs. We are LGBTQIA+ affirming and HAES aligned, and experienced in working with neurodivergent and highly sensitive folks.
A life of greater ease is possible, even if you’ve never felt it before. We encourage you to reach out to us with any questions. You can learn more about our specific therapists on our website, or you can reach out and asked to be matched with the therapist who best meets your needs.
