INSIDE OUT
THERAPY + CONSULTING
OUR STORY
Inside Out Therapy + Consulting was based on breaking out and free from the constructs we’re placed in. We break free from our situations, trauma, the court-mandates, the Community Mental Health system, and say, “Hello!” to a refreshing perspective on how to be supported in mental health. At Inside Out, we believe in designing and directing our own destiny while having the necessary support along the way. Trauma cannot not hold you back – only you can, so be prepared to join a journey for you to be your best self! Healing happens here!
“The world is like an invisible grand staircase – you just have to trust and believe the first step is there and worth taking.” – Christina Behrens
