Affiliate
Counselors

Licensed mental health professionals who bring their clinical expertise directly to our campus — providing evidence-based care in a peaceful, supportive environment.

While we are not a clinical center ourselves, our affiliate licensed professionals run independent private practices and bring their clinical expertise directly to our campus. Most of them accept many insurance plans. This unique partnership enables you to access professional, evidence-based mental health care in our peaceful, supportive environment.

These counselors see clients by appointment only. You can book directly with them via their respective links or using the contact info below.
