HOW DO THEY WORK.
treatment plans are informed and guided by your life journey and background. Our experienced and empathetic providers work with you to create an individualized and holistic roadmap that will optimize your mental wellness trajectory. Along with treating the presenting symptoms, we develop long-term solutions with lasting, sustainable results by getting to the “root cause” of what’s actually leading to your emotional pain and suffering.

Goal
Advancing Women's Health
This treatment plan is intended to offer education and support to women across the lifespan. We recognize women’s unique needs, including offering a holistic and integrative approach to mental wellness. This track looks at mental health in relation to physical health, reproduction, relationships, including parenting, and works in collaboration with your physical health team and/or psychiatrist to create positive, lasting outcomes.
Intersectional feminist theory and a sex-positive lens combat the impacts of sexism, misogyny, and misandry toward harmony of existence for women.
