We offer individual therapy,
relationship + family therapy,
and group therapy.
Therapists at Healing Arts Collaborative work from an intersectional lens, meaning we believe that most people experience multiple, layered oppressions. We will work with you to address the impact of those experiences in the context of your individual, relationship + family, or group therapy.
Individual Therapy sessions are typically 53 minutes in length, and take place in our office space or online via telehealth. In individual therapy, you and your therapist will work together to help you meet self-determined goals. We always affirm and trust in you as the expert of your own experience.
Relationship and Family Therapy sessions are typically 53 minutes in length, and take place in our office space or online via telehealth. In relationship or family therapy, two or more people in any type of relationship will work with a therapist to help the clients meet self-determined goals. Relationship or family therapy is appropriate for all relationship constellations including chosen and biological families, romantic relationships and polycules, friendships, community relationships, and other interpersonal relationships. Your therapist can offer tools to encourage communication between loved ones and practice effective decision making within relationships.
Group Therapy sessions typically run 60-90 minutes in length, include 10 or fewer members, and take place in our office space or online via telehealth. Therapy groups are intended to serve as safer spaces where group members can give and receive support, and share in healing together. Therapy groups at Healing Arts Collaborative are typically designed around a specific theme.

Your first appointment is a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other. You will discuss what brings you to therapy, and your therapist will explain how your work together might look. If you do not vibe with your therapist after your first appointment (or first few appointments), that is okay! We will never be offended by this and will always happy to help you find another therapist at Healing Arts Collaborative or elsewhere.
