Who We Are
We are a group of clinicians who have been where you are. We’ve felt lost or frustrated with life and have engaged in our own therapy. We understand the sensitivity of sharing painful thoughts and feelings – and we have seen how vulnerability has transformed our own lives.
We’re here to offer tools, support, and presence, but never to be the loudest voice in the room. You are the expert in your life. We’re here to provide affirmation and co-create a judgment free space with you to explore painful parts of your story without fear of rejection. We promise to walk alongside you, to honor your personal experiences, and to help you cultivate a path that allows you to live by values that you’re proud of.

PSYCHOTHERAPY CLIENT
Corinne is an insightful and caring clinical supervisor who is authentically engaged in supporting my growth. I can count on Corinne to help me dive deeper in examining core themes for both my clients and myself as a clinician. Corinne not only provides exceptional clinical supervision, but she’s a delightful human to spend time with. I feel lucky to have had these 2+ years together!
PSYCHOTHERAPIST, HOLD YOUR OWN
Corinne is the perfect person to have in your corner while you’re building your practice. She’s empathic but practical which makes her the ideal person to walk therapists through what is often an anxiety-inducing process. Her experience with all things practice-building; from getting an NPI to paneling to marketing, and her ability to break down these steps in a way that seems manageable is amazing. It was like I had a practice-building fairy godmother.
FOUNDER & PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Corinne is friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and breaks things down into practical easy steps to follow to get your practice going. She understands the systems on a personal level so is well equipped to answer questions and problem solve any barriers. Corinne is great to work with and I would recommend her to anyone building their practice.
FOUNDER & PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Corinne has worked closely with me over the years to ensure that she always has the most up to date and comprehensive abortion-related resources for clients. She cares deeply about connecting clients that are considering or seeking abortion care with compassionate, non-judgmental, affordable, and medically accurate information, resources, and care. She and I have talked often about how to best help people navigate restrictions on abortion care in an ever-changing landscape and she has spent many hours ensuring that she is a trusted source of good information for those seeking abortion care.
