Small Steps Brave Changes
Therapy Services
Our practice grew from its humble beginnings in 2023 to a thriving team of three clinicians by 2025, with the sole goal to be a mental health resource for anyone interest in taking small steps to make brave changes. We’re dedicated to building a community of like-minded therapists who prioritize people first, offering therapy in ways that resonate best with each individual—whether that’s on a couch, in a park, or alongside other disciplines like occupational therapy. Our holistic approach ensures no one-size-fits-all solutions, supporting well-rounded mental health for all.
