Yes & Therapy is a response to the need for kids, adolescents, young adults, and families to feel more connected to others and more capable of stepping into a new, unfamiliar, and exciting way of being.  When we respond with “yes” we validate the speaker’s experience or perspective, offering the possibility of increasing connection.  When that “yes” is followed by an “and,” we build upon their perspective or introduce a new idea.  Allowing ourselves to model vulnerability and curiosity—by adopting a constructive mindset we can short-circuit resistance and engage others at a level that allows for true, meaningful growth.  

Yes & is a mindset that challenges us to find the potential in ourselves and each other, to accept it, and to build upon it. It emerges from the belief that if we’re to thrive, we need to be flexible, creative, and compassionate. We have to be brave enough to consider the world through the lens of someone else’s experience.
