“Working with Bridget for an hour did more for me than a year of therapy. We figured out where my blocks were coming from and developed tools so I could let myself really get into my work. They get it. “
Kevin, Actor
“Adding the role of a mental health coordinator lets our collaborators know that we acknowledge how hard their work is and want to make it safer to do it. The work that resulted from a supported process was powerful. It’s a deeply important step for our industry to take, and I’m honored to be part of this at the beginning!”
