HOW IT BEGAN

The practice’s story

The center was founded by a group of clinicians who set out to create a safe, supportive place for individuals, couples and families. Its therapists build each treatment plan with the client, combining the client’s values with current research and their own expertise.

Alongside individual, couples, family, child and teen therapy, the center offers autism and other psychological assessments and Relationship Development Intervention (RDI®), a parent-centered developmental approach to autism. Telehealth is available to clients anywhere in California.
