Our Clinicians

Each of our psychotherapy clinicians are independent private practice owners. We believe that therapeutic relationships rooted in inclusivity and acceptance are vital aspects of a values-aligned practice and overall wellbeing as a clinician. For many of us, the autonomy of private practice is the best way to achieve this.

People grow in safe relationships, and creating safety requires feeling well-rested and focused. Many of us need independent control of our schedules, caseload, and client type in order to consistently provide this type of emotional labor. 


Psychotherapy is a creative, spiritual, and intellectual practice that takes a unique energy. Human development professions can’t be mechanized or reduced to a formula. Relational dynamics in which another is held require deep presence, focus, and attention.
