What Makes Us Special
our intentional, creative, and liberatory path to transformational care
-
We don’t just assign you a therapist based on logistics—we carefully match you with someone whose style, skills, and presence are aligned with your needs. From the moment you reach out, our team offers warm, responsive communication, with clear support and guidance to get started smoothly.
🔹 This is only the beginning of what we call our ✨Loving Attention to Detail ✨
🔹 You’ll meet your Client Care Coordinator (Rebecca) and Client Journey Liaison (Sam), who are there to offer dedicated support beyond your sessions.And here’s something you won’t find anywhere else…
🧭🏕️ The Client Journey Field Guide – a beautifully designed, comprehensive companion that walks with you every step of the way. It’s packed with wisdom, answers to common questions about therapy, reflection questions, guidance for how to get the most out of therapy or coaching, and resources to help you cultivate sustainable, lasting growth and healing.🔹 Created by clinicians who care deeply about our work, this guide reflects our belief that how we do therapy matters just as much as what we do in therapy (or coaching!).
-
We blend evidence-based therapy with expressive, somatic, and deeply relational approaches to create a deeply personalized and effective experience. Whether you’re drawn to EMDR, ACT, IFS, Gottman, existential therapy, art therapy, or something else—our approach is always integrated, trauma-informed, and grounded in who you are, not just what you’re struggling with.
🔹 Research-based AND radically human.
🔹 We honor creativity, culture, community, and the nervous system. -
We approach healing through a systemic, decolonial lens. Your mental health does not exist in a vacuum—it’s shaped by your relationships, your body, your environment, and the systems you live within. We make space for that complexity and believe liberation—personal and collective—is at the heart of true wellness.
🔹 Therapy rooted in justice, not neutrality.
🔹 We name power dynamics and support your agency.attunement.These practices enhance the client’s ability to connect with their body and promote overall well-being. We also integrate specific practices from Life Force Yoga, an approach that utilizes yoga techniques to skillfully manage mood and anxiety, release trauma, and promote deeper embodiment.

Healing isn’t linear, and your therapy shouldn’t be either. We check in regularly on how things are going—not just with symptom change, but with your felt experience of being seen, understood, and empowered. If something’s off, we want to course-correct ASAP. We’ll gently nudge you to challenge your inner people-pleaser and be real so we can adjust to optimize your experience. In fact, this kind of interaction in therapy can be incredibly transformative, offering a real-time opportunity to practice healthy rupture and repair.
🔹 You are the expert in you.
🔹 We’re committed to doing our work better, together. -
We know therapy isn’t the only place where healing happens. That’s why we offer holistic resources, community events like Guided Together, and creative between-session practices to support your integration and growth outside the therapy room.
🔹 You’re not just a client— you’re part of a community.
🔹 We believe in ripple effects that change generations.

🌀 We’re not just a therapy center. We’re a movement of healing, growth, and collective care.
