At Aldea Counseling, we are reimagining mental health care as a sacred act of solidarity. Aldea means village, and ours is one built on clinical excellence, reciprocity, and collective care.

THE ALDEA DIFFERENCE

  • Our community-centered pricing model ensures we can offer the highest caliber of care to every client, regardless of socioeconomic status. Here, socially conscious individuals can invest their healing while furthering the wellbeing of their neighbors. Simply put, clients who can pay more help fund treatment for lower-paying clients.

  • We understand that while the system doesn't bear down on us equally, it does affect us collectively. Our approach to therapy reflects the complexity of identity, acknowledging that mental health is shaped by race, gender, sexuality, income-level, and lived experience.

  • We believe healing isn’t just about the mind; it’s also about the body and spirit. Our therapeutic approach is holistic in nature, integrating evidence-based somatic and mindfulness techniques with advanced clinical modalities.

  • Our uniquely personal client experience is designed to foster a space of belonging where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. We encourage you to chart your own path to healing and will support you every step of the way with skill, intention, and compassion.

    As an Aldea client, you can expect:

    • A trauma-informed intake process–offered in both English and Spanish– that respects your time, energy, and well-being

    • Therapists who understand and reflect your identities, values, and lived experiences

    • The ease and flexibility of virtual therapy that meets you where you are

    • A loving therapeutic community that considers the full scope of the human experience and helps you align with your purpose
