Therapy & Coaching


Tend to yourself.

At Tend Therapy, we offer a warm, wise and compassionate space to collaborate where you’ll find clarity, calm and relief from struggle in order to reconnect with a sense of peace.

We welcome you, as you, wherever you are. From pre-teens to adults, we work alongside you to explore the areas of your life that feel heavy, uncertain, or need a little unpacking and putting in order. Our group of mental health and wellness therapists and coaches brings specialized expertise in life and relationship satisfaction, cultivating a sense of resonant purpose, inherent well-being, and thriving relationships whether that’s for you personally, professionally, in your partnering, parenting, career or sports performance, or anywhere in life you’d like to tend and grow.

Our small group practice of therapists and coaches help individuals with a wide range of thoughts, emotions and experiences from seeking more fullness and general wellness to navigating conflict or emotional hostility at home or work, within their relationships with family members, partners or the workplace.

We offer support in exploring and healing deeply held identities and beliefs that can consist of guilt and shame, trauma, rebuilding and/or reconnecting to a sense of self and identity for men and women learning to live more authentically. 

Why Tend?

Our clients often reach out to us for individual therapy for themselves or someone they love, when they’re looking for relief from anxiety, uncertainty, discomfort and depression, the weight of grief and loss, hurt and betrayal. Feelings like confusion, losing interest in life and things that were once joyful, conflict, or any unwanted emotion or behavior that feels persistent, the desire for clarity, connection and understanding are only some of the reasons people seek our therapy services at Tend.

For those facing major life transitions, exploring the messy middle of midlife, considering separation, divorce, seeking affair and/or betrayal recovery, or the complexities of parenting, we provide guidance through every stage and every phase and transition, including estrangement from adult children, caring for aging parents, or working through later phases of life like retirement, illness and bereavement.

We provide a space to process, heal, and move forward with clarity.

We also offer mindfulness and spirituality exploration for individuals navigating spiritual and faith crises and therapy for caregivers and therapists as well.

Each session lasts 55–60 minutes, and the length of your journey with us is unique to you. Some clients find what they need in a single session, while others choose ongoing support over weeks or months, some even years. There is no set timeline—only the one that feels right for you.

Whatever you’re facing, we’re here to tend to it with you.

Our Techniques

Our therapists integrate approaches such as ACT, EMDR, HMR, DBT, and mindfulness techniques, drawing from specialized training in the Gottman Method for relationship health, Brené Brown’s work on shame, vulnerability, and shame resiliency (The Daring Way, Rising Strong, The Gifts of Imperfection), and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) with Dr. Sue Johnson, along with Tapping, and more.
