We want you to get the care you deserve.

Reimagining mental healthcare

We are a group of therapists and a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who provide caring, individualized mental healthcare. We are a small group by design, collaborating closely and supporting one another while we support you.

While each of our clinicians are trained in different modalities, we all believe in a whole-person approach. We want your care to adapt as you grow, remaining flexible and creative along the way.

Alder Grove’s roots

The alder tree is steeped in rich mythological lore across many cultures. It can be found growing along riverbanks and in wet, marshy lands where it helps to protect from erosion. Unlike other trees, the alder tree grows solid and strong in water and was often used to make shields to protect the heart and chest. 

In Greek mythology, the alder tree was considered sacred and represented fire, while the Irish believed the first human was made from alder wood and that it represented both earth and fire. Just as some cultures believed the alder tree held a role as a protector and guide, it also symbolizes resilience, reminding us of the balance between strength and flexibility and of our innate ability to adapt and heal. 

Your whole self is welcome here.

We believe in living authentically and embracing your true self whenever it’s safe and possible to do so. Our practice is inclusive and affirming of the LGBTQIA+ community, and our office is a safe and affirming space for all. We welcome you to come as you are.

We are a neurodivergent-affirming practice, honoring the distinct neurological experiences and strengths of neurodivergent individuals. We view neurodivergence as something to be celebrated and supported, not changed or “fixed”.

 As a trauma-informed practice, we actively acknowledge and confront the persistent and evolving realities of systemic racism and oppression, committing ourselves to equity and justice.

Each provider in our practice offers a number of pro bono sessions to uninsured BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or otherwise historically/currently marginalized individuals in the community (please note that uninsured means you do not have commercial/private insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid). We welcome you to inquire if any of these spots are currently available by emailing us at contact@aldergrovecollaborative.com.  

We believe that everyone deserves to be whole and healthy and live a full and meaningful life. We see our role as collaborative, journeying with you to a version of wellness that we believe everyone can achieve.  

We’re so happy you found us.
