About Us

City Counseling: A Home for Growth is a multidisciplinary practice focused on creating a space that feels welcoming and safe for diverse clientele. Areas of focus include (but are not limited to) LGB and trans folks, survivors of trauma, HIV/AIDS, seniors, addiction issues, and couples.

Our clinicians come from different backgrounds and have varied areas of focus, but we all share the goal of delivering quality, compassionate care to diverse and marginalized populations.

Meet Our Team

Our experienced and compassionate therapists are dedicated to serving a diverse clientele. We aim to create a welcoming space that feels safe for all. As a team of white, cisgender individuals, this includes being mindful of our privilege, our biases, and how our clients might perceive us.
