OUR SPACE
When therapists talk about creating a safe and welcoming space for clients, they are speaking metaphorically. We think a safe and welcoming space though is not just a metaphor, but a place where clients feel comfortable doing the challenging work of therapy. At EMERGE, most of our work is in-person, so it is important that our offices are inviting, soothing
and comfortable for our clients and staff.
The EMERGE building at 1621 Oak is our main site, with a suite of six offices and comfortable waiting room. Next door
at 1627 Oak, the EMERGE Annex is a suite of two offices that was redesigned in 2026 to create a lively and engaging
environment for children, teens and adults.
