Mental health care built with people, not just for them.

Thoughtful mental health care infomed by clinical expertise, lived experience, and community.

What is the Co-op?

Traditional mental health care can be isolated: you, your doctor, an appointment, repeat every few weeks. 

We believe healing happens in relationship. in community. It all started years ago when I met my dear friends and husband in a mental health support group. I knew then that healing was never meant to happen alone. The relationship is the medicine. And, it's OK to start alone, often times we do.  

So... let me start. Hi, my name is Ryan. Welcome to the Co-op.   We're a little rough around the edges, but we're happy that you're joining us.
