Is this therapy or mental health treatment?

No, this is not therapy, and our counselors are not licensed mental health professionals. This is not a substitute for mental health treatment or therapy. This is an emotional support and educational service.

What happens if I cancel within 24h or no-show?

For late cancellations, you will not be allowed to book a session for 6 months. If you can provide proof of a documented emergency, this can be reevaluated on a case by case basis.

What types of support are offered?

We teach coping skills in areas such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal skills in a non-clinical, education based setting.

Mission Statement

Fostering equity and empowerment by providing free, non-therapeutic counseling services to historically disadvantaged and marginalized groups.
