Who we are

Counseling services and psychological assessment. Specialties include assessment and counseling with Adults on the Autism Spectrum. Psychological assessment, anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, and couples therapy.  We are dedicated to providing professional and effective care to our clients so that they may take what they gain from therapy into their most significant relationships and life situations. 

Who We Are

We are a group of independent clinicians who are working together in order to provide individuals and couples with a holistic approach to tackling the difficulties that they may be encountering in the various areas of their lives.

Our Values

We approach our work with the utmost care. We abide by spiritual values which include integrity in word and in action, respect for diversity, adherence to professional behavior, and genuine care and compassion for each of our clients.

We believe that each person is unique and precious, worthy of love and respect. We welcome diversity in its many facets and are honored to work with people from all walks of life. We are LGBTQ+ affirming providers.

Please note: We are a Neurodiversity Affirming Practice. Being neurodiversity affirming means embracing the idea that neurological differences, such as those associated with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions, are natural variations in the human population and should be recognized and respected as such. It involves acknowledging that these differences are not inherently good or bad, but simply different ways of experiencing and interacting with the world.

Neurodiversity affirming attitudes involve valuing and accommodating the unique strengths, challenges, and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals, rather than trying to force them to conform to neurotypical norms. It also involves advocating for equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and other opportunities for neurodivergent individuals.

Being neurodiversity affirming requires challenging stereotypes and stigmas associated with neurological differences and promoting understanding and acceptance of diverse ways of thinking and being. It involves recognizing that everyone has unique strengths and challenges, and that the diversity of human experiences is something to be celebrated and embraced.
