GTA’s work is built on three core principles – stay curious, honor emotions, act with intention. We help people who aren’t sure if therapy was designed for them find an approach to mental health care that honors all the facets of who they are and helps them combine knowledge and self awareness into choices that cultivate a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

Welcome to GTA
As the CEO of Group Therapy Associates, 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.
As a marriage and family therapist, my own clinical work is forever rooted in honoring the importance of positive, affirming, honest relationships. It is this commitment to valuing connection and compassion that informs the culture and mission of GTA today.
Each therapist here believes in the power of therapy to help you show up more fully for your life, relationships, and communities. Whether on the couch in the office, on a screen through teletherapy, or in a myriad of other fun and innovative ways, Group Therapy Associates is committed to helping you write the next chapter of your life on your own terms.

GTA is passionate about changing the narrative of mental health through advocacy, creativity, and by actively engaging people who feel left out of the conversation when it comes to what truly makes effective mental health care.
