Therapy
for Parents
Parenting brings out our attachment wounds, stresses us in ways we have never experienced, and is at the same time one of the biggest responsibilities the world could hand us. You deserve help, and healing your own trauma, relational pain, or anxieties not only helps you, it helps your child as well.
We offer both telehealth therapy and “walk and talk” hiking therapy for adults with our nature-based therapist, Jenn Mohn.

Join the Collective
Are you a therapist looking for an alternative to traditional group practice or the isolation of Private Practice?
We are overturning the traditional group practice model with your needs in mind! The intention of the Collective is to bring together a core group of individual and child specialists who can work together without the stress of a traditional agency hierarchy or the loneliness of Private Practice—thus making you a better more informed and relaxed clinician!
If you want the freedom and financial peace of private practice work, but you want us to do your marketing, share our EHR platform, and help you get your ideal clients, we have an option for this, either for in-person and telehealth, or 100% telehealth!
