Tired of therapy and healing spaces that werenโ€™t built for you?

So were we.

We know what it feels like to walk into a room and wonder if youโ€™ll truly be understood. We know what itโ€™s like to be met with blank stares when you share your truth. That wonโ€™t happen here.

Letโ€™s name it: Most mainstream therapy approaches were developed by straight, white menโ€“and it shows. Traditional therapy in the U.S. often centers on individuals, makes assumptions about what โ€œnormal relationshipsโ€ look like, and treats gender as fixed and binary.

If youโ€™ve ever felt like therapy and wellness services werenโ€™t designed with you in mind, you werenโ€™t wrong. But that doesnโ€™t mean healing isnโ€™t for you. It just means you needed a different space. A space that fully sees you.

This is that space. 
This is your space.

Weโ€™re so glad youโ€™re here.

Welcome to Open Space.

Welcome to Open Space.

Open Space Counseling, Consulting & Wellness wasnโ€™t created just to fill a gapโ€”it was built to change the landscape of mental health care for those who have long been overlooked. Founded in 2018, Open Space was born from a deep recognition that traditional therapy wasnโ€™t designed for everyoneโ€”and that needed to change. The need was greater than what existed. The system wasnโ€™t working. And we were determined to build something better.

What Led Us Here

What We Stand For

Therapy and wellness spaces should challenge harmful systemsโ€”not reinforce them.

We provide care that disrupts outdated mental health and wellness norms and puts you first.

About Our Team

We are more than just a group of providersโ€”we are disruptors, advocates, and changemakers in the mental health and wellness space. We donโ€™t just talk about inclusivity and authenticityโ€”we live it. Every provider in this space, along with our founder and support team, are here because they believe in something bigger: care that truly affirms, spaces that genuinely support, and healing that doesnโ€™t ask anyone to change who they are.

Meet Our Providers

At Open Space, we believe this work is sacredโ€”and that the people doing it deserve care, too.

Our mission is to inspire unapologetic authenticity, dismantle barriers to affirming wellness services and entrepreneurship, and create lasting impact for our clients, our providers, and our communities.

This isnโ€™t just a job. Itโ€™s a community. Itโ€™s a shared vision for what mental health and wellness care can look like when we center liberation, equity, and collective well-being.

We created Open Space because we were done with systems where burnout was normalized, authenticity had a ceiling, and providers were praised for self-sacrifice and running on empty. Instead, weโ€™ve built a space grounded in equity, flexibility, transparency, and next-level business support. Weโ€™re not here to replicate the structures that wear people down. Weโ€™re here to disrupt them.

If youโ€™ve been looking for a space to take your career to the next level, where you donโ€™t have to compartmentalize your values, your identities, or your needs โ€” you may have just found it.
