About Santa Cruz Therapy Collective

Ready to create positive change in your life?

Santa Cruz Therapy Collective (SCTC) is a place for support, healing, and growth. We understand what you’re going through: work burnout, childhood trauma, panic, family distress, sadness.

As a group of experienced colleagues who have worked together for years, we have numerous specialties, making sure you connect to a therapist who understands and can help you overcome your struggles.

We’re trained in science-backed techniques that help you become more mindful, reflective, and connected as you build resilience, manage distress, and feel more fulfilled.

As a therapy client at SCTC, you’ll have engaging, thought-provoking sessions that give you clarity, perspective, and self-compassion.

We offer services to adults, teens, children, and parents.

Our adult clients call us when they realize there’s a dissonance between what’s going on in their lives and their vision for themselves and their families.

We use reliable strategies to increase self-awareness, create connections with the past, and develop new ways to engage with experiences and relationships.

When the primary concern is about a child, we have several options, including traditional individual play therapy and services where parenting is the central focus.

And for adolescents, parents are key players as we help teens process their emotions and reduce anxiety and stress.

At SCTC, every relationship with every client is curated to fit their unique needs and goals.

Compassion, quality, and community…

These are the principles upon which SCTC was built.

We adore gorgeous, tenacious Santa Cruz County and have dedicated our careers to supporting our community to feel healthier and more fulfilled.

This isn’t just a job for us!

We think about our clients between sessions, share insights and ideas, and create a training environment with high standards. We strive to provide quality, effective healthcare as a critical component of a thriving community.

A special kind of experience…

Our founders became friends while working together in nonprofit leadership.

All SCTC providers are experienced psychotherapists passionate about delivering impactful services informed by your vision and goals.

We’ve worked in countless clinical settings over the years, honing our approach to mental health services along the way.

We refer cases to each other based on fit, collaborate to maximize the efficacy of our services, and coordinate with other providers (e.g., psychiatrists, teachers) to ensure you’re receiving the very best in mental healthcare.
