What do you love most about your job?
Our counselors entered the field of mental health to provide support, guidance, and a safe space for clients in need. While we seek to provide these fundamentals both in person and online, our passion is in working with individuals who may not otherwise engage in therapy and making therapy more mainstream and accessible.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Soon after entering the field of mental health counseling, I found myself supervising and managing a substance-use treatment program where effective, client-centered care faced off with systemic and financial barriers. I entered tele-mental health (in addition to working for an in-person practice) and began working with national platforms that provide online therapy.
While I enjoyed working for these platforms, I realized the downsides to not having an in-person component or option in my work with clients. It also turns out these platforms struggle with their outcome measures, and this is likely related to several factors including the lack of in-person options as well as therapists being underpaid and under-supervised (even at the licensed level.
Why should our clients choose you?
Our therapists engage in flexible, accessible therapy that is client-centered and affirmative. What this means is that while your therapist is experienced in specific areas and issues, we believe you are your own best expert. Our therapists, rather than talking at you or telling you what you "should" do, will walk with you (at your discretion and pace). Moreover, our therapists are experienced and trained in various issues, including substance-use, issues facing the LGBTQ community, relationships, family system issues, mood disorders, anxiety, systematic barriers and navigating external stressors.
