We are LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally diverse practice that specializes in working with young adults! We offer individual, couples, family, & group options!
We are a private group therapy practice located in Tempe, Arizona. We are a female-owned, LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally informed, eclectic group of therapists dedicated to quality client care, continuing education, advocacy, and community outreach. We offer individual, couples, family, and group therapy services both locally and through telehealth. We have therapists who specialize in the treatment of complex trauma, mood disorders, OCD, neurodivergence, chronic illness, medical trauma, life stressors, academic difficulties, and more. We believe in quality, affordable mental health services so our team is comprised of experts in the field that accept most major commercial insurances including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, and UHC including United Student Healthcare plan. In addition to great commercial insurance options, we also offer sessions starting as low as $50 per session to clients needing to pay privately. We treat ages two through older adults through evidenced-based modalities. Our admin team is responsive to new client inquiries within 24 business hours and we work to match clients to the best fit therapist promptly. We would love the opportunity to work with you!
