The Values

We ask anyone occupying our space to uphold these values.

  • We seek to be a space where people in our local community can form bonds through shared experiences. Clinicians meet regularly to consult as connection and community promote career longevity and reduce burnout.

  • Our providers are multiculturally-informed, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ-affirming. Events are designed with our neurodivergent community in mind, and we aim to meet accessibility needs.

  • We strive to offer affordable and inclusive services and programs. Our clinicians either accept insurance or offer sliding scale options.

  • Substances keep us from being fully present. Please show up clear-headed and ready to get real.

  • Connection is easiest when we are all showing up as ourselves; this requires bravery and humility. None of us have it all figured out, promise.

  • We do our best to ensure safety through maintaining a private and confidential environment for therapy, leading with our stance on inclusivity, using a trauma-informed approach, requiring registration for events, and being willing to have uncomfortable conversations.

  • To us, integrity means acting in alignment with our values and taking responsibility when we don’t.

“I worry that if we let our real-life interactions be corralled by our filter bubbles and branded identities, we are also running the risk of never being surprised, challenged, or changed – never seeing anything outside of ourselves, including our own privilege.” — Jenny O’Dell

Our Why

  • the need in our community

    Clients, especially neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQIA+ identifying adults are experiencing overwhelming loneliness.

    They seek somewhere other than bars, gyms, or churches to connect with others in person.

    Complex trauma impacts relationships yet is healed within relational contexts

  • the need among counselors

    An overwhelming majority of counselors experience professional burnout.

    Working with clients, especially addressing trauma, can take a toll on our mental and physical well-being.

    Operating in private practice can feel isolating.

  • how we help

    Red Dust Collaborative offers a space to engage with self and others in a supportive, safe environment.

    We strive to help clients learn what drives disconnection and how to thrive in relationships.

    Consultation is an effective way to reduce burnout. We offer weekly consultations for our core team as well as consultations open to local mental health professionals.

    Community events promote grounding and co-regulation with others for community and professionals.

In real life.

Red Dust Collaborative resists the pull to be constantly stimulated and available to others. All workshops, events, consultations, and continuing education classes are exclusively offered in person. Let’s experience life beyond the screen together.
