The practice is part of a larger organization that began in 2015 and has grown into clinics and franchise locations across the country.

At this location, clinicians meet with children, teenagers, adults, couples and families in a setting meant to feel free of judgment. Appointments are available in person and online. Therapists here draw on trauma-informed practice and each clinician works from their own preferred methods, so the plan you get reflects both training and what you say you want to work on.
