FAQs

  • We work with individuals, couples, families, and organizations navigating life transitions, stress, or disruption. You don’t need to be in crisis or have experienced trauma to seek support.

    • Physical therapy

    • Resource navigation and connection to trusted external supports

    • Choose the right provider for you, not just who’s in-network.

    • Move at your pace and adjust services based on your needs.

    • Provide consistent care even if your insurance or job changes.

  • Some clients may receive partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits. We provide superbills so you can submit claims to your insurance provider. Limited sliding scale spots are available for financial need.

This is made possible through a fiscal sponsorship partnership with Holon Institute, supporting partial scholarships, community programs, and other initiatives aligned with our mission: helping anyone in need of support, regardless of their ability to pay.
