LIFE TRANSITIONS
Are you dealing with a huge life transition (e.g., career change, divorce, marriage, new baby, military discharge, graduation, new baby, grief, etc)? Therapy can offer a space to process feelings as you adjust to a new role or change in life. Desired or unwanted, change can be scary. Our therapists are here to help you navigate next steps as you walk along uncharted territory.

Are you straddling American culture along with your culture or origin?

Therapy offers a judgment-free space for self-exploration while identifying and honoring important cultural values.
ACADEMIC & OCCUPATIONAL STRESS
Do you work a high-stress job? Are you overwhelmed with academic pressure? We work with students and busy professionals existing in demanding school/work environments (e.g., MDs, nurses, lawyers, medical residents and students, college students, tech professionals, business owners, finance professionals etc.) We are here to support your mental wellness amid chronic stress.
RELATIONSHIP CONCERNS

We support couples in traditional and diverse relationship structures (e.g. ENM, poly) to improve communication and connection.

We offer culturally responsive therapy with specialty experience treating BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identified individuals. Therapy can provide a space to process and heal from past wounds and aid you with coping skills moving forward.
