what we do + specialize in

We believe in the power of whole body wellness and support clients through navigating how unhelpful patterns, behaviors, and relationships may be showing up in our lives. 

 

We are passionate about providing inclusive, affirming and collaborative therapeutic services. We specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ folks who struggle with over control and in integrating our most challenging experiences into a more workable narrative.

the value of mental wellness

Mental wellness is achieved from doing more than just therapy. The way we engage in our lives, conceptualize ourselves, and interact with our communities matters in developing sustainable well-being. Our team at Half Moon is here to help in the journey to creating a viable, intentional path to long term mental wellness.
