Mission
Green Space Co-Op is dedicated to providing mental health services to individuals who have historically faced challenges within mental health systems. This commitment extends to people of the global majority, LGBTQ+ individuals, women, immigrants, and any other marginalized population encountering systemic barriers to quality care. Our aim is to establish an inclusive and supportive environment based on abolition principles, ensuring individuals feel safe while navigating their mental health journeys. Our therapists constantly undergo specialized training in culturally responsive, abolitionist, harm reduction, and trauma-informed care. This ensures that our clients receive personalized and compassionate treatment that addresses their unique experiences and needs. We empower our clients to take control of their mental health and pursue their goals with a holistic perspective. At Green Space Co-Op, we firmly believe that everyone, regardless of their background, identity, or diagnosis, deserves access to high-quality mental health care.
Vision
Green Space Co-Op was founded out of exhaustion with our graduate program. The curriculum mainly focused on the experiences of heterosexual, cisgender, white people, and we frequently found ourselves having to challenge the concepts we were expected to learn. At Green Space Co-Op, we not only prioritize our clients' right to happiness, but we also prioritize our therapists. All therapists at Green Space Co-Op have complete autonomy over their schedules, clients, practices, and monetary compensation. We are all equal stakeholders in this community practice, where fair compensation and equitable treatment for both our therapists and clients are central values.
