How We Work

Our approach centers relational trust, curiosity, and authenticity. Sessions are not clinical treatment but structured, goal-oriented support that helps teens develop self-understanding, communication skills, and confidence. We are anti-fascist, queer-affirming, neurodivergent-aware, and committed to economic accessibility through our Community Access Fund. All sessions are consent-based and non-pathologizing.
