Less Sitting,

More Becoming

Talk therapy works best when you’re also building a better life.

We combine traditional therapy with hands-on work on exercise, diet, sleep, relationships, work, substance use, and screens and social media.

Two spaces, one plan

The Office

Traditional one-on-one talk therapy.

The Warehouse

Experiential work that gets you moving and builds executive function: setting priorities, learning to focus, setting goals, and executing at a high level without falling into perfectionism.

Individuals, Couples & Families

Kyle Tew, LMFT, sees individuals, couples, and families in the office. Common reasons people come in include anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, family conflict, divorce, and grief.

  • Talking about your problems is not as helpful as working to build a better life.

  • Over-focusing on difficulties can increase anxiety and depression.

  • We work with you to create a comprehensive plan that you can execute to achieve your goals.

Onsite Work

 Our core work is experiential counseling for kids and teens—helping them build real-world skills through movement, projects, responsibility, and challenge.

This work is resource-intensive by design. Tools, materials, space, insurance, and travel all carry real costs.

To keep this work accessible and sustainable, we subsidize a significant portion of our counseling through organizational consulting, executive coaching, and on-site corporate counseling. We are currently committed to an average of 12–17 hours per week of corporate work.

We are actively seeking one additional consulting partner for approximately 7–12 hours per week. Revenue from this partnership would directly support additional outings, the purchase of much-needed equipment, and rising insurance costs.

While each engagement is customized, we’ve found the most effective structure to be a combination of open on-site hours, targeted coaching engagements, and group presentations.
