How can we support you?
I'm looking for therapy
Find support for life changes, relationships, stress, grief, emotional wellbeing, family concerns, and other experiences that may feel difficult to navigate alone.
I represent an organization
Bring practical, creative mental-health support to your workplace, nonprofit, school, healthcare team, community program, or professional event.
Life can feel overwhelming, complicated, painful, or simply
different from what you expected. You do not have to work
through it alone.
Therapy Services
Support shaped around the person, not a standard formula.
We work collaboratively with you to understand what you are experiencing, identify meaningful goals, and develop strategies you can use both during and outside of therapy.
Individual Therapy
A supportive space to explore personal challenges, understand patterns, develop coping resources, and create meaningful change.
Couples Therapy
Collaborative support for partners who want to improve communication, work through conflict, strengthen their connection, or navigate change together.
Family Therapy
A space where family members can be heard, better understand one another, and work together toward healthier patterns and relationships.
Youth Therapy
Developmentally appropriate support for children and adolescents facing emotional, behavioral, social, family, or life challenges.
Grief, Loss & Life Transitions
Compassionate support for experiences of loss, including death of a loved one, changes in health, relationships, work, or other important parts of life.
End-of-Life & Chronic Illness
Therapeutic support for individuals and families navigating serious illness, caregiving, anticipatory grief, and the emotional intensity of major health changes.
Therapy in Spanish
Therapy and supporting documentation available in English, Spanish, or a combination of both. Ofrecemos servicios en inglés, español o ambos.
Music Therapy
Music creates opportunities for expression, connection, reflection, and growth, sometimes when words alone do not feel like enough.
Therapy Services
Therapy is something we create together.
The name Create & Connect reflects the foundation of our work, and the belief that meaningful change happens in relationships.
Every person holds the capacity to create change.
Every person has the ability to create change, new understanding, stronger resources, deeper joy, and different possibilities for the future. Creativity is not limited to making art or music, it can mean discovering a new way to communicate, respond, cope, relate, or move forward.
Wellbeing is shaped by our connections.
Our wellbeing is shaped by our connections, with ourselves, our families, our communities, our experiences, and the people who matter to us. Therapy offers space to better understand those connections, strengthen the ones that support us, and address patterns that may no longer be serving us.
You are the expert on your own life.
You are the expert on your life. Your therapist brings training, perspective, resources, and support. Together, you explore what fits your needs and build a therapeutic process grounded in trust, authenticity, respect, and shared goals.
Access & Fees
Clear information before you begin.
We believe people should be able to understand the cost of therapy before scheduling a session.
We are currently an out-of-network practice. Health savings account payments are accepted, and documentation may be available for clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement.
Sliding-scale options may be available based on service, clinician availability, and financial need.
Create & Connect Therapy is not affiliated with insurance companies because we believe the highest quality care comes from being fully accountable to our clients, not to labels, diagnoses, or third‑party control of your care. By remaining independent of insurance, we protect your confidentiality, tailor support to your unique needs, and ensure that your care is never dictated or limited by insurance company control.

Experiences that create lasting resources
You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out.
You may know exactly what kind of support you need, or you may
