Our Story
Built from Compassion. Driven by Purpose.
The Traveling Therapist Co. was born from a simple but powerful vision: to make mental health care accessible where children and families feel safest — at home and in their communities. After years of providing therapy in hospitals, community agencies, and private practice, our founder saw that many families were falling through the cracks of traditional office-based care. We created a practice that removes barriers by bringing therapy directly to living rooms, schools, and neighborhoods, making support both convenient and meaningful. Our team specializes in child, teen, and family therapy, with a focus on trauma, reunification, and strengthening family bonds. Every session is designed to meet clients where they are, both physically and emotionally, so healing feels natural and lasting. At The Traveling Therapist Co., we believe every family deserves compassionate, personalized care — delivered right to their door.
