COURSES
Creating a bridge to therapy through guided courses.
Approachable and at your own pace, our courses are designed to make mental health accessible and affordable.
We are on a mission to normalize mental health and provide accessible, approachable and affordable mental health resources to help anyone who wants to move their life forward.
We offer guided courses as a bridge for those who might be interested in therapy, but feel it is not affordable, are unable to get into therapy or are just not yet comfortable to go to at the moment. Though our courses are not a replacement for professional licensed therapy- which is better able to examine the nuances of your individual circumstances- our courses have been designed by a licensed professional therapist and a university-trained development educator to be reflective, self-paced, easy to understand, and an effective self-help solution for whatever you might be struggling with.
This could also be an aid to your current therapy. If you would like a structured evidence-based approach, our courses are informed by 5 evidence based modalities, which have been proven to improve clinical diagnoses. The skills offered in our courses are a conglomeration of the best evidence-based practices that have been proven effective in clinical practice.
