Mission & Values

Through therapy, education, and community, we honor both the complexity and the individuality of each person. By blending clinical expertise with authentic connection, we help people strengthen relationships, nurture mental health, and rediscover themselves.

We believe you already have everything you need to thrive. Nova exists to empower your innate wisdom, offering tools that support growth, self-trust, and fuller expression — so you can create a life that feels aligned, expansive, and truly your own.

The Nova Collective

A supportive community for parents who want to stay people while raising people.

Through weekly check-ins, educational classes, and shared community spaces, the Nova Collective offers connection, support, and practical tools to help parents feel less alone and more grounded through every season of life.

  • Our weekly virtual check-in calls offer a consistent, supportive space to pause, reflect, and feel less alone. These guided conversations create room to share what’s coming up, listen to others, and stay grounded through every season of life and parenthood.

  • Nova’s classes and workshops offer deeper dives into mental health, relationships, identity, and personal growth. These experiences are more structured and educational, designed to help you build insight, tools, and confidence as a parent and as an individual.

  • Community at Nova is about ongoing connection — not just showing up to an event, but feeling held in between. Through shared spaces (virtual and in-person, depending on location), members can connect, listen, share, and build relationships that make life feel more supported and less isolating.

“Just still so thankful for you and your work with [my child]. He is doing really good and is coming into his best self. I so appreciate your heart and investment in my family.”

—Parent of an Adolescent Client

I feel more equipped now to parent (my daughter) from a new skill set, instead of parenting with the old tool kit. I also know there will be bumps in the road. Thank you for your help.
