Our Counseling Model

We offer counseling for individuals, couples, families, and families of choice. Our approach to counseling works to build mutually supportive relationships and community connections, which we believe are the most important resources for sustainable wellbeing. There is no neutral; our values are front and center in our counseling work. We must work together to end the harmful effects of isolation, consumerism, and violence. Your distress is a signal of the difficulties you are encountering in your relationships and communities. Together, let’s increase our collective abilities to practice empathy, include diversity, and collaborate on thriving together. You can choose from affordable sliding scale counseling with a trainee or one of our more experienced Counselors-in-Residence.

Individual Counseling:

If working in relationship with family or your partner is outside the scope of what you currently need, you can opt for one-on-one counseling. We can help you to…

  • understand your needs more clearly

  • tolerate and value intense feelings

  • expand your capacity to navigate complicated relationships

  • build enduring connections with a wider network of support

  • engage in healthy community

Family Counseling:

Whether biological relatives, or the intimate networks you call your family of choice, all relationships require patience, skill, and support. In couples/family counseling, we can help you and your partner/you and your family to…

  • relate to each other with empathy

  • navigate challenging communication issues

  • deepen intimacy

  • design your own creative relationship arrangements
