Often, it feels like life is happening to us. It can be hard to find, stand, or even begin to imagine our ground. Regardless of circumstances, we believe that each and every person--mind, body, and soul--has the strength, capacity, and resilience to recover from life’s experiences.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Jungian Therapy Draws on Carl Jung’s ideas about archetypes, dreams, and the collective unconscious. It helps people explore deeper layers of meaning.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.

Fees
- Average Session Fee $100
- Affordable sliding scale therapy: apply if you may be eligible.
- Our “out-of-pocket” or “pay-what-you-can” services and sessions are based on a sliding scale. A sliding scale is a tool used to help create economic justice. The information below can help you to determine what is an appropriate fee on the sliding scale for your circumstances. Please see individual clinician bios for more information about their therapeutic modalities/perspectives, as well as standard pay rates and ranges. “Standard base rate” is determined by local rates for psychotherapy, clinician training/specializations, and experience. A “redistribution rate” is higher than the clinician’s standard base rate, which will help cover the costs of someone else’s therapy who may not be able to afford it. “Accessible range” is lower than the standard base rate, including pro bono sessions. Consider paying the clinician’s base rate or redistribution rate if you: -Own land or your own home (does not apply to Native or Indigenous folk) -travel recreationally -are able-bodied -work part-time or are unemployed by choice -can afford to take time off from work (for vacation or sick time) -regularly order take-out/go out to eat, buy new clothes, attend cultural and/or sporting events, etc. -own your own home -have investments, retirement accounts, and/or inherited money -have access to family money and other resources if needed -have a relatively high degree of earning power due to education, racial privilege, gender, socioeconomic class background, etc. Consider paying an accessible rate if you: -are not always able to meet you/your family’s basic needs (food, shelter, essential clothing items) -rarely purchase new items because you are unable to afford them -are supporting children/other dependents -are a senior citizen with limited financial support -have experienced employment discrimination -have other medical expenses not covered by insurance -make under $18,000/year (not because you are working part-time by choice or in school) and have no other financial supports -are an unpaid community organizer

Our aim is to create a collaborative, person-centered healing relationship with clients. The dynamic of this co-created space is one where you can explore and find your unique tools, techniques, and strengths to empower your authentic self, as well as your understanding of the world around us. Our intention in all levels of our work is to decolonize the therapeutic space. We are LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, neurodivergent affirming, and sex-positive. We are dedicated to the continuous engagement--both professionally and personally--that this requires.
