Our mission is to serve youth and their families by providing a safe, welcoming, inclusive place for mental health treatment and wellness.

young-teens-and-adults-talking — **Our Vision**

Our vision is a community in which youth feel valued, understood, and empowered. We believe that providing mental health services and supports at the individual, family, and community level can ultimately transform lives.

Our Values

Empowering Youth Voice

We believe that all youth should have a voice and be heard. We believe in approaches that empower youth to create treatment goals, advocate for their needs, and collaborate with their families and treatment providers to find what works best for them.
Accessible, High Quality Mental Health Services

We accept and bill several insurance companies, including OHP and commercial insurance plans, so that services are affordable. Our therapists have flexible appointment times that make it easier for youth and families to access services.
Respect and Equity for All

We are an LGBTQIA+ inclusive, social justice oriented practice and believe in treating all people with respect and equity. We welcome our clients to be their most authentic selves where they will not be judged.
Continuous Growth

Our therapists are committed to continuous learning and personal growth. We emphasize continuing education and learning so that we are truly specialists in our field. We continue to ask ourselves “how can we do better?” and challenge one another both professionally and personally.
Community Engagement

We know that mental health issues don’t occur in a vacuum. Part of successful treatment is working with the youth, as well as the family, and having a community that supports mental health treatment and awareness. We participate in numerous community events and activities each year to help spread mental health awareness and reduce stigma around mental health, so that we are able to serve and reach more youth and families in our communities.

What We Are About

We believe that meaningful, lasting change happens when mental health care extends beyond the individual and includes the systems that surround them.

Through our Certificate of Approval (COA) from the Oregon Health Authority, we are able to offer a broader range of behavioral health services beyond traditional therapy, including peer support, case management, caregiver support, medication management, and other team-based services that help youth and families succeed.

We are also proud to be recognized as a Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services (CLSS) organization. This designation reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment where all people feel respected, valued, and supported. Together, these services and values allow us to provide support that is collaborative, culturally responsive, and centered on the needs of the youth and families we serve.
