Our Services
Formation
“Shaping our future”
Formation is a one-on-one counseling program for children and youth, guided by licensed clinicians with active support from parents. We work closely with families and schools to help young clients develop emotional resilience, improve behavior, and thrive both at home and in the classroom.
Breaking Through Unhinged
“The still after the storm”
One-on-one therapeutic program for individuals navigating recovery from addiction, trauma, or crisis. With rising rates of homelessness, mental health struggles, and substance use across Santa Clara County and neighboring regions, this program answers a critical need for compassionate, consistent care.
Participants receive direct counseling from licensed clinicians and are referred to trusted nonprofit partners for housing, food, and essential life resources. In a county where nearly 30% of unhoused individuals report struggling with both mental illness and substance use — and youth overdose rates have doubled since 2020 — we stand in the gap, offering healing, hope, and a hand to hold during the storm’s stillness.
Lets Get it Together
“Bring unity to the community”
Let’s Get It Together 101 provides individual, couples, and group therapy focused on healing, connection, and emotional wellness. Group sessions include Bro, Just Breathe for men and the Waiting To Exhale Sister Circle for women — safe spaces designed to explore growth, accountability, and unity. Led by licensed clinicians, each session supports deeper self-awareness and stronger relationships.
Ignite Your Spark
“Paint. Dance. Heal. Express”
A creative arts program where music, dance, painting, crafts, and DIY projects come alive. Open to all ages, we offer one-on-one lessons, paint parties, studio sessions, and hands-on training in entertainment and production. Whether you’re exploring your creativity or pursuing a career in the arts, this is your space to shine.
Banking on Success
“Created for Financial Literacy”
Designed to educate, equip, and empower individuals with real-world money management skills. Through engaging workshops on budgeting, checking and savings accounts, credit building, investing, and long-term planning, participants gain the tools to take control of their financial future. Whether you’re starting fresh or rebuilding, this program supports you with knowledge, confidence, and community every step of the way.
Setting the Table of Life
“Living life fulfilled & fruitful”
Empowers youth and young adults as they navigate school, college, early parenthood, and the responsibilities of adulthood. With mentorship, counseling, and real-world coaching, we help participants build emotional resilience and practical life skills for long-term success. This program offers support in:
- Academic guidance & school advocacy
- College preparation & goal setting
- Life skills & time management
- Emotional wellness & confidence building
-Support for young parents
-Communication & decision-making tools
