Hey There

We are spicy, messy (read: deeply human) therapists who are LGBTQIA2S+ celebrating, sex positive, kink and poly affirming, anti-racist, anti-capitalists just trying to improve mental health and deconstruct systems of oppression.

About Us

 Radically Affirming. We celebrate and support BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and all marginalized identities.

​

Trauma-Informed & Anti-Oppressive. We recognize systemic harm and center healing. Your identity, experiences, and voice matter here. 

​

No Judgment, Just Support.  We are real, authentic, messy, and deeply human — just like you. We understand the healing power of being seen, accepted, and celebrated for exactly who you are.

​

Culturally Responsive Therapy. Your story is unique, and so is our approach.

​

More Than Allies—Co-Conspirators. We actively challenge oppression in and out of the therapy room.

Who Are You?

We are a practice made of humans who are enamored of other humans - exactly as they are and as they work towards "becoming."

 

We know that it takes strength to reach out for support as a man in our culture. We believe that there is space for men to both excel and get support. If you are just starting out in life as a young adult, living life as a musician/actor/comedian/etc., figuring out what kind of dad and partner you want to be, or just a man aware of how working on yourself makes you more appealing, we have a provider perfect for you.

 

If you are a woman who has always felt like things were a little off, who wondered what was wrong with you, who felt like an outsider looking in, just out of step with what was happening around you, we are here. Not only do we work with newly diagnosed women with autism and ADHD, we also work with women who are wondering if maybe one or both of those diagnoses helps explain your struggles.

 

If you have had providers (or loved ones) who have "accepted" your queer identity but don't seem to know or celebrate who you are, we are here to let you know that you are wanted, seen, and valued - not in spite of who you are but because of exactly who you are. We are excited to work with you, alongside you, and to help you build the life you want from a place of enthusiastic acceptance.

 

We also know that people who seek out therapy often times have been hurt- sometimes again and again- in ways that have left them feeling distant and disconnected from themselves. We know the effort of sitting in the discomfort of the emotions that can get trapped in our bodies over time. We know the pain and the joy of being able to be present with the parts of ourselves that are most vulnerable, most painful, most protected. 

 

And, we know that sometimes, as kids, tweens, and teens, you don't get a choice about being here. We know that sometimes you are here because someone else thinks you need to be. And, we know that even when you want to be here, sometimes it is so hard to even know what to say or do or what would be helpful. And, that is why we have therapists that work with you in the way you want to work. Through art, music, writing, sitting still together, playing games, whatever works for you, we will work to do- and we will take the time it takes for you to start to trust and to have hope that change is possible. Plus, we will tell your parents what *they* need to be doing differently, too, because we know that sometimes you are here *because* of them (no shade to parents, intended....).

 

All of this to say, if you are between the ages of 6 and 65, if you are a person trying to figure out life, if you are someone who has a ton of skills but still want to tweak a couple of things, we have a provider for you. We want you to come exactly as you are - strong, vulnerable, sassy, quiet, feeling older than time itself, feeling like a brand new baby deer just walking through the woods for the first time. We want you. And, we have a provider that is a match for just what you are looking for!
