Everyone deserves safe spaces to be heard, valued, and supported as their whole selves. 

Therapy should be that kind of place.  

At GTA, you will find personalized services from culturally attuned therapists. A space to rewrite your story and honor all parts of your identity and purpose.

Individual, couples, and family counseling for kids and adults – in person and online

Open to all – Customized to celebrate culture and diversity

When we can show up as our full selves to every area of life, everyone benefits.

Hi, I’m Esther Boykin. As the CEO of GTA, every day I work alongside my team of associates to make mental health accessible, innovative, and culturally relevant for all people.

My role as the head of this company is deeply tied to my belief that knowledge, compassion, and intentional action are the keys to fostering meaningful growth.

Each therapist here is committed to the importance of therapy that values all aspects of your identity.  We are passionate about providing culturally relevant and inclusive mental healthcare to help you show up more fully for your life, relationships, and communities.

What sets us apart?

Our approach is built on 3 core principles

Stay Curious

Curiosity help us get clear about our thoughts, create context for our life, and allows us to learn new skills

Honor Emotion

Feelings are not facts… but they play an important role in our lives.  Emotion helps us understand our needs, desires, and boundaries.

Act with Intetnion

Head plus heart gives us insight but insight without action doesn’t create real change.  We believe that good therapy inspires new behavior
