Our Story
Anyone who has experienced significant life adversity, including maltreatment, interpersonal violence, mental health challenges or family disruption knows how difficult and isolating it can be to navigate these experiences without adequate supports and inner resources. More than ever, our diagnostically driven, symptom focused model of health and human services is overburdened and often lacks the human-centered services and supports so critical to fostering mental and emotional health, post-traumatic growth and resilience.
​
Every member of our team has experienced some form of life's challenges - from learning to live well with past trauma or a chronic condition to raising an adoptive or neurodivergent child with complex needs. We understand these experiences from the inside out. Our motivation for coming together as a team is to combine our professional expertise with the wisdom of practical experience and the rigor of best available evidence to help fill the need for human-centered services that support people and systems in need of growth and healing.
