Start with clarity.
Get matched with the right care.
Aspire isn’t a therapist directory. Your first step is a conversation with a Clinical Director who helps you understand your options — therapy, psychological testing, or both — and recommends the right next step.
No commitment to ongoing care before you understand the recommendation.
Your first step is a conversation, not a checkout.

Thoughtful, evidence-based care.
Aspire has been instrumental in helping my family. From the initial intake to further sessions, the team has been supportive, empathetic, and attentive to our family’s needs. The practice is flexible with finding appointment times that work for our challenging schedules. Dr. Scolaro, Paula, and Shunya provide excellent care in a non-judgmental fashion. I would highly recommend the practice without any reservations.
After suffering my whole life and then having what I’d constitute as a mental breakdown, I’m living generally an anxiety-free life without using medication.
