We are not your typical therapy practice.
"When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write the ending." - Brene Brown
You are not alone.
We are a collective of therapists that prioritize the mind + body connection, as mental health IS physical health, and we practice with a human-first perspective.
We believe that everyone is unique and worthy, with lives full of twists, turns, struggles, and blessings. It’s within these messy, beautiful stories that you can discover who you truly are and grow into your most self-aware, accepting self. Life’s challenges happen to everyone, but you don’t have to face them alone!
It is possible to feel safe, experience joy, worry less, and feel seen and empowered. Connection is the key to building resilience.
We get that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, but asking for help is a true sign of strength—and you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Our Mission
We’re on a mission to provide holistic mental health care that helps you live your most authentic life. Our approach is all about being real with you, with a goal to make therapy feel as normal as grabbing coffee with a friend. We create a warm, welcoming space where you can truly connect, because we believe that deep connection—plus mind + body wellness—is the magic combo for lasting, beautiful healing.
Our Four Core Principles
THERAPY IS FOR EVERYONE.
Therapy at The Therapy Collective is for every human (and maybe a few furry friends you'll meet around the office!). Everyone deserves a safe space to unpack their thoughts, dive into their feelings, and explore who they truly are—no judgment, just growth.
We are HUMANS FIRST, and THERAPISTS SECOND.
We’re all about keeping it real with you—just humans connecting on a human level. As therapists, we bring our down-to-earth vibe, a good sense of humor, plenty of care, and, of course, our professional training. We want therapy to feel like you’re chatting with someone genuine, not someone stiff or overly clinical.
​
WE WANT TO CONNECT WITH YOU AS A PERSON.
You are so much more than a diagnosis or a list of problems. We’re here to really get to know YOU—what makes you tick, what makes you unique—and help you tackle whatever challenges come your way. Your courage to share your story, face your fears, and be honest with yourself (and us) is seriously inspiring. We're honored to be part of your journey.
MIND + BODY WELLNESS & HOLISTIC HEALTH IS KEY.
Mental health and physical health are a package deal! We’re all about recognizing how the mind + body connection plays a huge role in your emotional and mental well-being.
