Our Mission

At Aligned Mind Counseling, our mission is to foster a therapeutic space where individuality is celebrated, creativity is encouraged, and personal growth is cultivated. We believe in providing a safe and inclusive space where each person's unique journey is honored and embraced. Our dedicated team of compassionate counselors are committed to guiding individuals, couples, and families towards self-discovery. We value the inherent strength within each individual, recognizing that the path to well-being is as diverse as the individuals we have the privilege to serve.

More Than Just Therapy

At AMC, we believe in offering more than just therapy. Our approach encompasses holistic care, tailored to address the unique needs of each individual. We provide a supportive environment where clients can explore personal growth, develop coping strategies, and enhance their overall well-being. Beyond therapy, we integrate various techniques and resources, including mindfulness, wellness coaching, and community-building activities, to foster a comprehensive path toward healing and self-discovery.

Lastly, we see our work as a protest to “cookie-cutter” therapist. We want to change the narrative about mental health being sterile and clean like the medical model — who strive to diagnose some kind of “illness” as a starting point for helping. We believe that therapy is a place where one should be their true authentic self and therapy should be tailored to the individual.
