Who Are We?
Art of Care Therapy is a small virtual private practice
based out of the Bay Area, California and we only work with clients who live in California.
​
AOC Therapy was established in 2023 and currently has one therapist on the team. However, we are looking to grow
with other clinicians in the near future to provide
services to individuals of all backgrounds.
​
All clinicians are licensed to ensure that the care for
our clients meets the standards for, not only AOC Therapy,
but for the state of California as well.
​
Clinicians use evidence based data & work hand in hand with other providers (psychiatrists, school counselors, etc.) in order to provide the best service possible to our clients.
The Name
We chose to name our practice "Art of Care Therapy" because we believe that therapy is truly a work of art & requires delicate care, not only as a clinician, but as a client as well. There is an art to the care we provide for others and an art to how you can care for yourself as well.
​
The way we see it, art comes in hundreds, if not, thousands of different forms. However, getting to the final product can take time. There are multiple edits, highs and lows, sometimes we throw away one idea to try another & other times we can flat out be discouraged. The beautiful thing about artwork is that it is the artist's journey & every single artist is on a different journey, even when some pieces look similar. Each individual artist's process is different and when we take our time, we create something that feels beautiful to us and it should be something that we take pride in.
​
This is the same framework we use when we think about a therapeutic journey. The process can initially be exciting, the middle stages can be tough and at times discouraging and there are tons of highs and lows. However, when one has gone through their own process in therapy, the hope is that they come out feeling like they've created something beautiful for themselves with the time and dedication spent working to be better than they were the day before.
​
This how Art of Care Therapy was born.
Our Values
Our values revolve around empathy for every client, maintaining integrity in our work, and serving BIPOC (Black, Indigenous & people of color), disenfranchised communities, and anyone committed to personal growth. Continuous education is a core value for all our clinicians as learning is an ongoing process. We cherish the care, commitment, and dedication extended to each client, approaching every session with empathy for whatever you choose to share. Lastly, we hold relationships in high regard, recognizing their vital role in providing purpose. We are committed to supporting every individual seeking change, accompanying them on their journey.
