Therapist (Full or Parttime)

Room to Breathe Psychotherapy and Yoga aims to create a radically affirming space where folks can connect with their inner wisdom, find belonging within a community of healing, and feel empowered to express their true self.  We serve children, adolescents, adults, partners, and families by offering individual, partner, and group therapy.

About us:

Room to Breathe is an integrated private practice therapy space and psychologically sensitive yoga studio. We affirm the mind-body connection through offering talk therapy along with gentle, inclusive somatic practices, including physical postures, meditation, and breath work. Clinicians have the opportunity to co-facilitate yoga and therapy groups alongside our psychologically-sensitive instructors. For more information on our talented yoga teachers please visit the Yoga Staff Page.

Our Values:

Therapists and yoga practitioners are striving to form an integrative and collaborative culture to meet the healing needs of all individuals, couples, groups, and families. As a community, we center sustainable work/life balance, personal expression and growth, and professional development. We acknowledge that talk therapy has historically been white-centric; we actively work to decolonize therapy and practice inclusivity. We do this by taking direction from Black-led, as well as queer-centered liberation and disability justice-oriented movements in deconstructing internalized systems of oppression.
