More Than a Practice. A Collective Vision.
We are therapists who came together to reimagine how care can be offered: with autonomy, integrity, and community at its core.
The Playhouse Collective was born out of a shared vision- one where therapists could work sustainably, clients could build lasting relationships, and healing didn’t have to fit inside a rigid system. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. We believe in collaboration, diversity, and the power of relationships that last.
Each therapist in our collective brings their own style, specialty, and story. We work with youth and adults, families and groups, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients, and anyone seeking thoughtful, affirming therapy. Together, we support one another so we can better support you.
Our shared values
We’re a collective not just in structure but in spirit. While each of us brings our own unique perspective to the work, we are united by a core set of values that shape how we show up as therapists, colleagues, and community members.
Inclusion & Affirmation
Our practices are identity-affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. We honor the complexity of our clients’ experiences and are firmly against racism, homophobia, transphobia, ablism, sexism, displacement, genocide and all forms of systemic oppression. We are prepared to discuss the current political climate and are ready to help you navigate it.
Sustainability
We believe in care that lasts. Our model helps prevent burnout and turnover, so clients can build meaningful relationships with therapists who are here for the long haul.
Collaboration & Education
We are independent, not isolated. Through consultation, shared learning, ongoing training and mutual support, we keep growing for ourselves and for the people we serve.
Community Connection
We are embedded in the Pasadena, San Gabriel Valley and east side LA communities working as therapists and living connected lives. We believe that healing happens not just in therapy but in our communities and relationships. We freely share resources and information to help our clients thrive.
Depth & Integrity
We bring years of experience, ongoing training, and a commitment to doing the work internally and externally. We take our responsibility as therapists seriously, and we show up with honesty and heart.
Empowerment
We believe our clients are the experts in their own lived experiences. As mental health professionals, our role is to support our clients in building lives that feel more rooted, authentic, and aligned with their own wishes and dreams.
