Services

Individual Therapy

We are able to support people with diverse needs, and will work to pair you with a therapist who we think may be best able to support you. Some typical reasons people seek therapy with us: trauma, addiction, low mood, anxiety, life changes/transitions, work or school stress. We prioritize serving queer and trans folks.

Youth + Family Counseling

We believe the majority of youth are most helped when those closest to them also participate in therapy. What this looks like is co-joint sessions with youth and caregiver(s), sometimes referred to as “family therapy”. If parents do not want to participate in therapy with youth, we do offer 8-12 sessions of psycho-education and skill-development counseling for youth 12 and older.

Gender Affirming Care

At Rhizome, we are proud to be one of the only practices in Humboldt County with a primary focus of prioritizing the mental health care of transgender, gender expansive, and non-binary individuals. We are competent and comfortable assessing those with binary and non-binary identities, as well as "non-typical" transition journeys. We support our trans siblings in exploring gender identity, pursuing gender affirming interventions (social transition, coming out, hormone therapy, surgery), connection to local resources and networks, and processing feelings that may arise, during, or after gender transition.

Relationship Counseling

We are able to work with diverse configurations of relationships, from couples to polycules, people seeking to decouple, or to open their relationship. We are sex-positive and kink-aware. We are not a good fit for people seeking discernment therapy or court-ordered treatment. Due to the limitations of how insurance companies reimburse for "couples therapy", and our practice model of not pathologizing individuals, we are unable to accept insurance benefits to pay for relationship counseling. We are happy to discuss why this is with you, and to offer a sliding scale of our cash rates if needed.
