We are deeply grateful for our partnerships with graduate colleges, which allow us to bring in passionate, highly trained interns who are learning the very latest in evidence-based and effective counseling practices. These partnerships ensure that our clients benefit not only from our experienced clinicians but also from the fresh perspectives and research-informed approaches that our interns bring to the counseling room.

One of the exciting projects these teams will be spearheading is the coordination and facilitation of support groups. Support groups can be a powerful way for individuals to connect with others who share similar experiences, and we are eager to provide a variety of groups tailored to the needs of our community. If you are interested in joining a support group—or if you have suggestions for the types of groups you would like to see offered—please reach out to us. Your input is invaluable as we shape these new resources.
