About Us
Who We Are
We are a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals dedicated to serving individuals and families recovering from adversity and traumatic experiences. We came together during the Surfside Tragedy, as key leaders who provided support to the victim’s families, survivors, and the affected community. Inspired by the continuous needs, we formalized a safe space where resources for healing and building resilience are offered to individuals who have experienced any form of trauma.
We Respond to Local and Global Traumatic Events
Our team was formed following the Surfside Champlain Building Collapse, and formalized in response to the terror attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.
Trauma Treatment Models
Our team of licensed and experienced counselors are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their goals and improve their mental health and well-being. We provide quality and the highest standards of trauma treatment, with certified training in EMDR.
