Collaborative Counseling Institute

Collaborative Counseling Institute was founded with the goal of creating a unique experience for clients and clinicians. As experienced marriage and family therapists, we know how intimidating beginning therapy can be and are so familiar with the nervousness that comes with therapist shopping! The movies don’t really do us justice; we have better cardigans (and you don’t have to lay on the couch). 

We want you to know…

We created this space with YOU in mind.

So come on in- grab yourself a drink from the fridge or a snack while you wait. We’ll guide you through the process.
