OUR Mission is to Serve
Our mission is simple: create North Carolina's best group practice for healing and growth through talk therapies.
We created this group practice with the notion that psychological and relational healing and growth (that is, "great therapy") happens when therapists are engaged in a structure that gives them the support they truly need and then gets out of the way of their therapeutic work and relationships with clients. We have co-created a space for psychotherapy services that respects the choices, competencies and relationships of clients and practitioners. We provide a simple business model, some basic guidance on our culture of practicing therapy with the latest science in mind, support our therapists to receive ongoing top-quality post graduate training and consultation, and let the therapist-client relationships and expertly delivered therapies take care of the art of healing and growth.
We match clients with North Carolina licensed and certified psychotherapists who specialize in the issues treatment is being sought for, the population groups the client identifies with, and/or the type of treatment being sought. Our clients are served by clinicians who are committed to providing not only competent, but expert care, and are constantly working at being their best therapeutic Self. Additionally, our therapists are supported to be healthy, balanced, interpersonally responsive and engaging people who deeply appreciate the privilege we have to be therapists for people who choose to trust us with their healing and growth. We are honored to have the opportunity to serve you.
We invest in our therapists by supporting the development of their clinical skills, their personal well-being, and sense of community. We want our therapists to feel our appreciation in order to be a happier and healthier crowd of professional healers. We do this so that our clients know that their therapists are given the best supports and tools any therapist in North Carolina can receive. They can trust that our practitioners will give them everything a therapist could because we give everything we can as a business to our therapists.
Quite simply, we set out to accomplish two things, and do them exceptionally well:
1) serve psychotherapy clients with top quality services and
2) help other therapists do exactly the same.
Independent of their professional license, approach to psychotherapy or stage of career, all of our therapists are regularly trained and supervised in the concepts and skills of what research says matters for best client experiences and outcomes: cultivating and maintaining responsive therapeutic relationships, honing facilitative interpersonal skills, becoming expert in the scientifically supported models they pull from (and even developing their own), and getting support for their own personal development, healing and growth. Additionally, all of our therapists all receive training and supervision in specialized, scientifically supported models of psychotherapy to inform their practice with couples and other romantic relationships, families, groups, individual adults, and children. Our therapists have joined us in our mission to provide exceptional services, and to be in a collaborative, healing-oriented relationship with their clients.
