welcome, we're glad you're here

At Half Moon Mental Health & Wellness, we’re pretty clear on one thing: traditional mental health spaces haven’t exactly nailed the whole “inclusive and accessible” vibe. For far too long, LGBTQIA+ folks, BIPOC communities, and anyone living outside the “default settings” have been expected to squeeze themselves into systems that were never built with them in mind. Hard pass.

So we created something different.

Half Moon is built on the belief that mental wellness is more than a 50-minute therapy session. It’s community. It’s connection. It’s being able to walk into a space where you don’t have to pre-explain your identity, justify your existence, or brace yourself for a microaggression before you sit down. It’s about honoring the full spectrum of who you are -- loudly, proudly, and without apology.

We offer individual, group, and relational therapy for every kind of relational constellation; couples, families, polycules, best friends, whatever configuration makes your world feel like yours. Our approach is collaborative, values-driven, and rooted in the idea that you’re the expert on your life. We’re not here to hand out “10 Steps to Happiness.” We’re here to walk alongside you while you figure out what’s working, what’s definitely not working, and what needs to shift.

And because healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum, Half Moon is also home to a coworking space intentionally designed to uplift marginalized wellness and helping professionals. Every person who rents from us holds a historically oppressed identity and together we’re building a professional community that’s grounded in equity, belonging, and mutual support. When marginalized providers are resourced and supported, their communities feel it. We’re here for that ripple effect.

At Half Moon, we don’t pretend to have all the answers. We’re guides, collaborators, fellow humans figuring it out in real time, just like everyone else. What we do have is a space rooted in inclusion, celebration, and a commitment to making mental wellness accessible, affirming, and actually reflective of the people who walk through our doors.

We’re honored to walk this path with you. Snacks, support, and occasional swearing included.

half moon guiding principles
 

our vision:

We envision a world where mental wellness is accessible, inclusive, and rooted in community care — where LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC folks don’t have to hunt for spaces that see, affirm, and celebrate them. Our vision is to create environments where people feel safe to show up fully as themselves and build lives grounded in authenticity, connection, and belonging.

our mission:

Our mission is to provide affirming, individualized, and collaborative mental health services that support people in living fuller, more aligned lives. We do this by creating a community-oriented space where clients, clinicians, and marginalized wellness providers can thrive together — loudly, proudly, and without shrinking.

our values in action:

Radical Inclusion
Everyone deserves a space where they don’t have to brace for judgment, explain their identity, or water themselves down. Our work centers LGBTQIA+ folks, BIPOC communities, and anyone who’s been overlooked by traditional mental health systems.

 

Community Is the Medicine
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. We nurture connection -- between clients, between providers, and within the broader community -- because belonging is a fundamental human need, not a luxury.

 

Celebration of Self
We don’t just accept who you are; we celebrate it. We hold space for identity, culture, queerness, complexity, and the fullness of the human experience.

Equity in Practice
We uplift and resource marginalized wellness providers through intentional coworking, reducing barriers, and fostering a professional community built on mutual support and shared values.

Collaboration Over Hierarchy
We’re not here to play expert-on-a-pedestal. Therapy works best when it’s a partnership, grounded in curiosity, consent, and shared exploration.

Whole-Person Humanity
You are more than your symptoms or your stressors. We honor the intersections of identity, relationships, environment, community, and lived experience -  the full mosaic of what makes you you.
