Get accessible and personalized mental healthcare in-person or from the comfort of your home. We are here to help you heal your mind, cope with stressful situations, enhance your relationships, and tap into your resilience so that you can overcome obstacles and enjoy your life fully.

Our Approach

At Lotus Counseling Collective, we believe that some of life’s most beautiful and defining moments are born in the mud. Our team consists of licensed therapists with extensive training and expertise in their respective specialties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, immigration assessments and much more. By utilizing a holistic and dynamic approach, our therapists provide services in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment while utilizing a unique blend of evidence-based modalities.

Our goal is to help you process past events, identify current patterns in your life and relationships that are holding you back, increase awareness of emotional activations, and develop strategies and techniques that will support you on your journey to your best self. We believe that therapy is a collaborative process and we work closely with our clients to tailor our approach to their unique needs and goals. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Brainspotting, Gottman Method for Couples Counseling, Discernment Counseling, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution Focused, and mindfulness-based practices to help clients achieve lasting change and growth.

Whether you are seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to improve your overall mental health and well-being, we are here to help support you on your journey of digging deep and blooming into your best, most resilient self.

We know that seeking mental health care can be a challenging and vulnerable process and we are here to support you every step of the way. If you’re ready to take the first step towards health, happiness and wholeness, please contact one of our therapists today!
