RCT work is not about changing people to fit into dysfunctional cultural conditions, but empowering them to heal in connection, and in turn, to heal others in connection. A part of growth in connection often spills into participating in social change, through creating alliances or communities that are built around relational values. –Judith V. Jordan, Relational-Cultural Therapy

Lower Cost Therapy:
The following therapists are therapists in training, working directly under supervision of our LCSWs, and as such are able to offer therapy to those who may face financial challenges accessing services. In seeing a therapist-in-training, you not only get the benefit of someone right in the thick of learning the newest techniques, you also get the experience of their supervisor checking in and supporting the process every inch of the way.
