Counseling

Our experienced, caring staff offer online therapy for individuals, families, and communities.

For Texas residents, we are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, Cigna, Aetna, United, Carelon, and Quest. We also offer sliding scale and out-of-network options.

Individuals

We offer an eclectic, relationship-focused approach to therapy

Families

Short-term counseling is available for families coping with age-related transitions, serious illness prognoses, and grief/bereavement.

Friends & Circles of Care

We offer short-term counseling to support a variety of support networks, recognizing that traditional families are not the only people working together to provide care during aging or illness.

Support Groups

We offer virtual support groups facilitated by a licensed social worker. Typically, our groups meet for 90 minutes and are short-term commitments (6-15 weeks) meant to foster community and mutual aid around a shared experience.

End of Life Doula Services

End-of-life doulas provide emotional, informational, practical and spiritual support to the dying person and their circle of care. This can happen at any stage, from first contemplating mortality to serious illness diagnosis to after death. End-of-life doulas support you making your own decisions about and during end-of-life.
