Together we will partner to uncover your fullest self

MCM Collaborative is a group psychotherapy practice built for connection, healing and transformation. We are passionate and practiced in partnering with people of color, queer folks and those at these intersections. Because we know our struggles are interconnected, we also invite teens, adults, partners/couples and families of all identities. We are therapists, sure, but we’re also artists, teachers, nature-lovers, community members and world travelers who invite you to bring all of your multiple parts to the conversation.

Relationships are at the core of our practice

“Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

― James Baldwin

Our Approach

Relationships are at the core of our practice

All of the relationships you have had since childhood have shaped how you understand who you are and your place in the world. Some were painful and difficult. Some have the potential to be the site of great growth and healing. Knowing this, in addition to clinical skill, we prioritize sincerity and care to the therapeutic relationship.

Each of our therapists have their own expertise, but we are united in a relational, psychodynamic orientation that is responsive and engaging.
