The fast-paced nature of our culture has saturated the therapy market with large, impersonal platforms.
As an important countercurrent, we are committed to providing therapists backed by authentic reflection and intensive supervision.
We provide in-depth training to ensure that all of our therapists are prepared to engage in sincerely transformative work.
We know that the therapeutic relationship is an opportunity for deep healing and growth. Healing does not happen in isolation.
All of life is based in relationship — relationship with ourselves, our caregivers, our partner(s), our work, the earth, and myriad matters of life.
We value connection as a path for returning to wholeness, re-patterning old wounds, and remembering our inherent worth.

How We Work
We envision a world where people are empowered to dive deep and experience heightened intimacy.
Our therapists are highly trained and are in pursuit of specialization. We provide in-depth training to ensure that all of our therapists are prepared to engage in sincerely transformative work. The fast-paced nature of our culture has saturated the therapy market with large, impersonal platforms. As a critical alternative, we remain committed to providing therapists a community oriented space backed by authentic reflection and intensive supervision.
We specialize in the following areas:
Building the kinds of relationships you want takes skills. Learning how to set boundaries, communicate clearly, and co-create a life with your partner(s) isn’t something we’re taught in school (unfortunately!). Marriage and family therapy can help you gain the knowledge you need to better your relationships. Visit our Relationship Therapy page to learn more.
The way we do one thing is the way we do everything. While our sexual fantasies and proclivities are often a playground for new experiences, our sex lives can also be rich territory for uncovering patterns of intimacy, power, vulnerability, and communication that echo throughout the rest of our lives. We provide expert guidance for you to navigate discrepancies in desire, explore kink, heal from past sexual trauma, and cultivate the sex life you desire.
Betrayal, infidelity, or cheating can feel like a massive rupture. Staying present and getting curious about what healing looks like on the other side can be equally as powerful. Support for couples navigating the aftermath of rupture looks different for everyone, and often includes truth telling and meaning making that bring newfound intimacy. We’re here to support you in finding your unique way through.
The ways we love and connect are evolving. Traditional, binary models of intimacy are giving way to a broader spectrum of relating. While the practice of consensual nonmonogamy is nothing new for mankind, integrating it into daily practice may feel challenging as our culture offers few affirming examples. Therapy can allow you space to discover how you want to relate, learn how to set boundaries, and navigate jealousy. We also work with triads, polycules, and dyads within larger relationship networks in order to offer support that honors the richness and nuance of your relational world.
Identity affirmation is critical. Queer and trans people face discrimination, erasure, and unjust political attacks. In our therapy rooms, we acknowledge the impact of systemic oppression while celebrating the fullness of your identity. We provide space for you to find respite, explore your gender or sexuality, navigate family and cultural dynamics, process trauma, and experience liberation that starts from within.
Change is constant. It asks us to get clear about what we value and where we find our internal sense of stability. Starting a new job, changing relationships, moving homes, or simply feeling the shifting of life’s seasons can stir up grief, fear, excitement and possibility — sometimes all at once. Working with a therapist can help you remain buoyant amongst the tides until the next change arises.

Being a parent means something different for each of us. From finding your footing in the early days to navigating shifting dynamics in your relationship over time, there’s hardly two paths alike. Confronting the remnants of our own upbringing and origin stories is a key step on the path towards being an authentic, present parent. Therapy can offer a steady ground to process, challenge, forgive, and discover what parenthood means to you.
Endings happen. When breaking up, separation, or uncoupling becomes the next step in a relationship, doing so consciously can help abate common pitfalls. We support our clients in finding clear completion, establishing healthy boundaries, and creating new relational dynamics.
Our mental health sets the tone for our life experience. Navigating persistent anxiety, depressive lows, or emotional swings can compound the challenges of daily living and lead to rupture if left unchecked. Through the therapeutic process, root causes of our struggles can be brought to light. From there, cultivating tools for regulation becomes possible, and a sense of groundedness becomes sustainable.
Self worth is often initially shaped by the messages we receive over time. As multifaceted, complex creatures, it is almost inevitable that some parts of our identities will be hidden away or put down in the face of what bell hooks calls the “imperialist white supremecist capitalist heteropatriarchy (now that’s a mouthful!)” Therapy calls for reconnecting with our inherent value. Easier said than done, this practice of rebuilding one’s self worth takes just that — practice.
Who am I? We return to this question again and again throughout our lives, and the answer is ever-evolving. Questioning long-held beliefs, exploring gender and sexuality, integrating our sexual selves, or simply feeling unmoored from a clear sense of self can be an exciting and daunting experience. Moving through these questions alongside a therapist can help you find clarity — or simply go from “Oh no, what’s going to happen?!,” to, “Wow, I wonder what’s going to happen!”
It’s not linear. And it takes many forms. Death, breakups, lost parts of self, changes in environment. Without rushing towards closure, and with respect for dynamism, working with a therapist through your grieving process often involves honoring your loss and finding a gentle, meaningful way forward.
Roles! Neglect! Manipulation! Oh my! Complex or not, family dynamics shape our earliest relational patterns. As we create our own families, patterns set in childhood can become sources of love, pain, obligation, and everything in between. When the net of complex family dynamics becomes entangled, a therapist can help you cut damaged cords and straighten out the kinks (making sure to keep the ones that turn us on). Regardless of family members’ willingness to join you in a healing process, inner work can offer a boon of empowerment.
Something’s gotta give. When even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming and exhaustion is pervasive, it can be extremely challenging to live a life that feels fulfilling and joyous. Burnout is a signal that things need to change. Working with a therapist signals a commitment to building a more sustainable life. Together, you can discover what needs letting go and what deserves your complete presence.
Meaning. It drives our daily actions and reminds us of our “why.” We welcome all walks towards spirituality and meaning making whether religious, secular, or somewhere in between. The role of the therapist in navigating these questions is to hold space for your exploration with curiosity and care — not to provide answers, but to offer possibilities and to support you in uncovering your own way through.
A life without burnout is possible! Work can be a source of inspiration, positivity, and groundedness — rather than a chaotic drain of life force. If you’re ready for a shift in your career path, our life coaches can help you discover what that looks like and create a strategy for you to get there. You don’t have to choose between stability and fulfillment.
and more.
