Our Mission

At Align Mind Therapy, we are more than a counseling practice—we are a small team dedicated to wellness for both our clients and ourselves. We believe that caring for our own well‑being allows us to show up fully for those we serve.

Built by a counselor for counseling, Align Mind Therapy reflects the values of a small business and woman‑owned practice, where authenticity, compassion, and empowerment guide everything we do. Diversity and inclusion are not just principles—they are central to our mission. We welcome and honor the unique identities, backgrounds, and experiences of every client, creating a space where all voices are heard and respected.
