We’re Therapists Too!
Being a therapist, especially *right now*, can feel so hard and isolating – it’s impossible to be an expert on everything, but also challenging to know where you can find support. CCC strives to work with and uplift female, non-binary, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC owned businesses who provide trauma-informed and values-based services to their clients. Book with one of these incredible Independent Contractors and feel how much easier your work becomes when have the deep and meaningful support you need.
Meet our consultants
These are our incredible therapists and consultants that we contract with at CCC. While these consultants do not work for CCC – they work for themselves (rock on with your bad selves!!) – we contract with them at CCC because of their immense talent, passion for what they do and shared values. Learn more about them here so they can help you take the next step to get where you need to be.
