AREAS OF FOCUS

What we
work on, together.

 

Our therapists specialize across a few related areas — but most of what we do is help you make sense of what's actually happening in your life, then do something about it. Browse below, or just write us a note.

Mind & Mood

Trauma informed

Not just the big-T events. Also the slower kinds of hurt that shaped how your body and brain learned to be in the world.

Read more

Mind & Mood

Anxiety

The 3am ceiling stare. Sunday-night dread. The mind that won't quiet down even when nothing's wrong.

Read more

Mind & Mood

Perfectionism

The high-functioning kind. Looks like success from the outside. Feels like never enough on the inside.

Read more

Body & Health

It started as something that worked. Relief from anxiety, from pressure that doesn't let up, from something you never fully processed. The substance helped, until the costs started outpacing the relief.

Read more

Relationships & Family

Family of origin

The role you were given as a child and still find yourself playing. What you owe, what you don't, and where the line is.

Read more

Relationships & Family

Relationship problems

The same conversation, just in a different outfit. Disconnection, resentment, the slow erosion of feeling unseen. Friends, family, partners, the people closest to you.

Read more

Life Transitions

Phase of life

Moves, careers, breakups, becoming a parent, becoming someone new. The in-between asks a lot of you.

More coming soon

Body & Health

Infertility

The grief that arrives month after month. The strain on bodies, relationships, and the future you'd imagined. The loneliness of wanting something so badly.

More coming soon

Relationships & Family

Communication within relationships

The same misunderstanding on loop. Learning to say what you mean, hear what's actually being said, and stay in the room when it gets hard.

More coming soon

Identity & Belonging

LGBTQIA+

Coming out, chosen family, identity in spaces that don't always make room. Affirming, never explaining yourself.

Read more

Mind & Mood

ADHD in adulthood

Late-diagnosed, undiagnosed, or just navigating it. Less about lists, more about understanding your wiring.

Read more

Life Transitions

Building something while questioning whether it's the right thing. Founders, early-career, mid-career pivots.

Read more

Relationships & Family

Couples & relationships

The fights you keep having. Attachment patterns you can name but not quite change. We work with individuals on partnered things.

Read more

Life Transitions

Grief & bereavement

The loss that reorganizes everything around it. Learning to carry it without being defined by it. New grief, old grief, the kind nobody else seems to remember.

Read more

Body & Health

Pregnancy, pre- and post-natal concerns

The body changing, the identity shifting, the love and ambivalence arriving all at once. Anxiety, postpartum heaviness, the parts no one warned you about.

Read more

Mind & Mood

Self esteem issues

The standard that keeps moving when you get close to it. Positive feedback that disappears; critical feedback that stays for days. You can achieve a lot and still feel like you're falling short and logic alone doesn't touch it.

Read more

Relationships & Family

Divorce

The end you saw coming and the end you didn't. Untangling a life, grieving what was, and slowly building what comes next.

More coming soon

Life Transitions

Early adulthood struggles

The disorientation of building a life from scratch. Career, identity, relationships, money, meaning. The uncomfortable middle between who you were and who you're becoming.

More coming soon

Identity & Belonging

First gen & immigrants

Carrying multiple worlds. Family expectations, code-switching, the weight of what your family did so you could be here.

Read more

Mind & Mood

Depression

Numbness, low motivation, the sense that color has drained out of things that used to feel like yours.

Read more

Body & Health

Eating disorder & disordered eating

The diet that never had an end date. The rules around eating that take up more mental space than they should. The relationship with your body that colors how you move through the world. 

Read more

Body & Health

Chronic illness

Living well alongside pain, fatigue, and uncertainty. The emotional weight of a body that asks for more than yours.

Read more

Identity & Belonging

South Asian community

The weight of expectations passed down quietly, and the ones you didn't realize you'd absorbed. Honoring where you come from while making room for who you're becoming. Family, identity, and the things that go unsaid.

Read more

Relationships & Family

Pre-marital & marital problems

The questions that come up before the wedding, and the ones that surface years in. The long quiet work of staying close.

More coming soon

Identity & Belonging

Gender & sexuality exploration

Coming home to yourself. The questions you've been holding quietly, and the room to ask them out loud. All identities, all expressions, all timelines.

Read more

Relationships & Family

Family conflicts

The dynamics you grew up inside, still alive in the present. Hard conversations, complicated love, and the work of being a more adult version of yourself in the family you came from.

More coming soon

NOT FINDING IT?
If it's weighing on you, 
it's worth a conversation.

 

We can't fit everything we work on into a set number of cards. Tell us what's going on and we'll be honest about whether we're a good fit, and if not, we'll point you toward someone who is.
