Please talk to your provider about your unique needs and how we can support.

Addiction, Substance Use Concerns and/or recovery

Sometimes the raw nature of life can be heavy and soothing seems to be necessary. If you are currently or previously concerned about use of drugs, alcohols, or other addictions or if repeating a behavior is causing harm and concern in your life, we can support.

Neurodiergent, Autism & AuDHD

We have neurodivergent and neurodiversity affirming clinicians that can support folx who have medium to low support needs. We focus on identifying and leveraging strengths and view neurodivergence as part of normal variation (not a “disorder”) but also recognize that living in a neurotypical world may present obstacles for some neurodivergent individuals. We approach with warm curiosity to support the whole person.

Womens Needs

Girls and women are often socialized to be passive, nice, accommodating and nurturing. Many times this can be a support as we need nurtures and strong caring women. Sometimes, this can take root in the form of people pleasing and perfectionism which often coincides with one loosing sight of her core values, motivators, boundaries and assertive communication and other risk factors.

Mens Needs

Boys and men are often socialized to be strong, reliable, and caregivers. In many ways, this is an important support for individuals, in relationships, for families, and ad towrk, however, the messaging form society can be confusing and lead to many boys and men being dismissive of their emotional self, and not understanding how to express needs, feelling safe and connected. Boys and men's needs are multidimensional and complex and deserve a safe place to be expressed and understood.

Cultural Identity Issues

Have you ever felt like you had one foot in your world and one foot in your parent or community’s world? Navigating how to maintain your connections to your family context while also forging your own unique identity can unintentionally feel like a lonely experience. It’s important to acknowledge the responsibility and respect you have for your roots, but it’s also important to let yourself step into the spotlight and understand what you deserve to explore for yourself too!
