About our Collaborative
Redwood Collaborative was founded in 2023 by a multidisciplinary, multigenerational group of practitioners who are passionate about building community and offering integrative, evidence-based care to support clients in healing, growing, developing deep and meaningful relationships, achieving personal goals, and ultimately thriving in life. Our practitioners bring a background rich in personal and professional experience and training that have created unique specialities and a deep passion and love for the therapeutic relationship and process. Each of them have worked in a diverse range of settings and with a diverse range of populations, which has fueled the belief in the power of growth and healing through community.
The majestic giants that we know as Redwood trees are known for their longevity and towering presence, yet they can only remain strong in their stature by intertwining their roots. By supporting each other through this interconnectedness, they are able to withstand the test of time and a remarkable amount of natural adversity. Redwoods even have the ability to regenerate and thrive after forest fires. Because of these resilient and inspiring qualities, they are often associated with wellness, safety, wisdom, and communication: These are the qualities that we, the founders of the Redwood Collaborative, strive to embody and that we know to be essential in the process of growth, healing, and personal transformation. These incredible trees also symbolize the healing power of community, which is at the heart of our values and the beliefs that inspire us to do this work. Thus, the Redwood Collaborative was formed.
We, the co-founders of the Redwood Collaborative, believe that all of us thrive in environments where we are supported in our journeys to discover and maintain the best possible relationships with ourselves and others. We all need support to recover from the trauma, loss, and pain so often experienced during life, and at times, just to get unstuck from ways of being that prevent us from living our most fulfilling lives. The Redwood Collaborative strives to make our services as accessible as possible to all individuals, families, couples, and communities with whom we work. We honor the unique strengths, challenges, experiences, and cultural backgrounds of our clients, and we are committed to creating a safe, non-pathologizing space for all people we support and serve.
Living our values in our professional practice includes acknowledging our own limitations and imperfections, and dedicating ourselves to our own individual growth work, as well. To this end, we also strive to model balance and sustainability in our own work-culture because we believe that the compassion, creativity, curiosity and attunement necessary to do our best work is accomplished in an empowering and supportive environment.
