Clinicians
Our therapists take a proactive and compassionate approach. There are no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all scripts here. We let our client’s needs direct the best type and course of therapy in order to provide support.
Our job is to create a safe container for our clients’ unique and intersectional needs, and to guide them through radical vulnerability toward empowerment.
About Halina
Halina studied Anthropology and Studio Art at Santa Clara University from 2003-2007. Here she enjoyed studying ancient cultures and portraying such early lifestyle cultures in her artwork. Her art would often analyze themes of social injustice and systemic oppression of marginalized identities. Shortly after graduating, Halina moved to Jackson, Wyoming to live closer to the mountains and pursue her dream to become a professional snowboarder. Achieving this dream led her all over the world, including a scouting trip to Nepal for a snowboarding film in 2016. While in Nepal, Halina became inspired to pursue her passion for helping people through empowerment work.
Shortly after returning home, Halina began researching graduate school programs and opportunities to manifest her interests in serving the needs of her local community.
