Welcome
Our mission is to transform the therapy world for marginalized communities by creating a safe, transparent, and authentic environment.
Everyone, including you, is welcome at our practice. Here at the Works Counseling Center, we do not discriminate. Our goal is to create a space where radical, creative, thoughtful, intelligent, passionate individuals like you are invited to show up as your whole authentic self, where you are seen and celebrated while also healing old wounds, strengthening self-worth, and learning new coping skills.
Every counselor here is wanting to watch you grow into your most authentic self. We just ask that you bring your bravery along with your worries, your insecurities, confusion, and pain. We understand there will be shame and fear around starting this journey, but we just ask you shoot for progress and not perfection.
