Trauma, Anxiety, & Resilience

There’s no treatment for trauma — not for our own, or for those passed down through generations. We help clients contextualize traumas, and find ways to cope with their impacts on our minds, bodies, and spirits.

Depression, Grief, & Hope

Gutted by the news each morning, doom scrolling on repeat, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Rebuilding hope starts with finding just one small piece.

Gender & Sexual Diversity

Trans, Enby, Two Spirit? Gay/Bi/Pan, Poly or Ace? We know ‘Queer’ isn’t only a beautiful identity, but a powerful verb. You’re in good company, and your pronouns will always be respected here.

relationships.jfif — Couples’ Collaboration

‘Love’ is an action word — sometimes we need a momentum boost. A couple’s session tailored to your unique connection can help rekindle the flame, learn the love languages, or decide if it’s worth repairing.

Transforming Addictions

An addicted person is not someone who has weak willpower or character, or who has made bad choices or moral failings, or who is broken or diseased in some way. An addicted person is someone who needs help. We take a harm-reduction approach to build better habits.
Racial & Cultural Safety

Living on the margins isn’t easy, and it’s multiplied by each intersecting identity of difference. Every day racial trauma builds up as stress and anxiety, and chances to unload can be rare. Racial justice is our full-time business, and cultural safety is our top priority.
Sex & Intimacy

Intimacy should feel safe, inclusive, and empowering, and consensual sex should never, ever be a point of shame. We help clients with reshaping body image, deepening self-love and acceptance, coping with incompatibility and dysfunction, and more.
Religious Trauma

Sometimes the systems and communities that can be sources of safety and healing for some, are the very opposite for others. Whether your goal is to escape, cope, or find new sources of Spiritual Health, we will walk the path alongside you.
Embracing Neurodiversity

ADHD, ASD, BP, DID, BPD… we know these initials spell big challenges — but also your unique advantage. We support our atypical clients to celebrate the diverse beauty they add to our community: we’re pretty atypical ourselves.
Loneliness & Isolation

Solitude can be beautiful, but this pandemic is really pushing it. Prolonged loneliness is dangerous for both mental and physical health — we help our clients improve connections and connectability.
Climate Grief & Eco-Anxiety

Environmental disaster could become the biggest mental health issue of our lifetime. It’s natural to feel helpless and even hopeless when those in power don’t seem to care about the future. We help clients find the cautious optimism to keep on working for action.
Personal Growth & "Adulting"

From basic self-care to comprehensive life strategies, this ‘growing up’ thing isn’t as simple as it used to be. Feel like your life is 85% “put together”? Let’s get you to 90.
Anti-racism & "Allyship"

It’s not really possible to ‘become’ an “ally”, but we help some of our clients to engage with the discomfort and emotional challenge of unlearning things like white supremacy, cis-hetero-patriarchy, and settler-colonial mythology. Today matters more than yesterday.
Professional Coaching

Preparing for a job interview, polishing the old resume, or aiming for a promotion? Emotional intelligence has become the razor edge of success in today’s workplace: we can help you sharpen it.
Dating & Break-Ups

Swiping your way to that special someone, premaritally planning, devastated by heartbreak, or somewhere in between? Connecting with others can be a real whirlwind — let us help you navigate the storm. We welcome non-traditional and non-monogamous perspectives.
