Mission Statement:
At Cultivate Counseling we believe in the work of counseling, we see a need for it in our community and we want to help fill that need by providing a platform from which therapists can find a diverse and supportive community of providers to enable them to do their best work.

For our clients we believe the journey towards change always begins with courage, courage to tell their story, courage to believe that things can be different.
