A different approach

Our approach to well-being is collaborative, transpersonal, rooted in Buddhist Psychology, and utilizes liberatory framework — meeting you in the context of your culture, community, or family.

Where some models of psychotherapy place pathology within the individual, a liberatory approach applies critical consciousness, situating the psychological difficulties faced by individuals in the context of the larger cultural, racial, and socioeconomic conditions in which they are arising.

Support is available in person in West Sonoma County, CA, and online throughout the state of California.

an EQUITY MODEL

All services are provided through an equity model informed by gift economy. We invite you to pay what feels right to you and what works for your budget. When you pay at the higher end of our suggested sliding scale, you help make services available to people historically denied access to mental health resources.
