Where to start
Finding the right therapist is harder than it should be.
We believe compassionate, collaborative therapy, grounded in science, can help you build the life you want to live.
Therapy is built on the foundation of trust. If we are not the right fit, we will help you find someone who is.
What we help with
Our providers offer evidence-based behavioral therapy for a range of needs.
Anxiety
Exposure therapy to help you overcome fears and tolerate worry thoughts.
Depression
Behavioral activation to build social connection and rediscover a sense of meaning.
Suicidal thinking
Manage moments of crisis by safety planning and learning skills to tolerate distress and manage intense emotions.
Posttraumatic Stress
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and exposure therapy to safely process traumatic events and become unstuck. How we offer EMDR.
DBT
A structured, skills-based approach for people who feel emotions intensely. The most extensively researched treatment for self-harm and suicidal behavior. How we offer DBT.
Teens & young adults
