Our Core Values

Empathy • Diversity • Equity • Inclusion • Anti-Racism

At Serenity Space Therapy, we are grounded in empathy and guided by a deep commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. These values are woven into every aspect of our practice—from how we show up for clients to how we grow as professionals and community members.

Trauma-Informed & Empathy-Based Care

We recognize that trauma takes many forms—direct, indirect, generational, systemic, relational—and can affect all aspects of life. You do not need to have shared your story for us to approach your care with the compassion and sensitivity it deserves.

Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed practices and prioritize emotional and physical safety in every session. We avoid re-traumatization and work collaboratively with you to build trust and healing at your own pace.

Empathy is at the heart of our work. Whether you're in individual, couples, or family therapy, our aim is to foster understanding, nurture self-compassion, and strengthen emotional connections.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Anti-Racism

We honor each person’s unique background and lived experience. We welcome clients of all races, cultures, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, and identities—and we affirm your right to feel safe, seen, and heard.

Client autonomy is central to our approach. You are the expert of your story, and we support your right to shape your treatment: from your goals and focus to the structure and duration of therapy.

We are committed to anti-racism in our workplace and clinical work. Our therapists engage in ongoing training to deepen awareness of implicit bias and enhance allyship. Racism and discrimination have no place here, and any concerns can be brought directly to our executive director, Alexandra Vaganova.

Commitment to Professional Growth & Accessibility

Our therapists stay current with the latest research and best practices in trauma, relationships, sex therapy, and attachment theory. We’re committed to bringing you high-quality, evidence-based care that evolves with the field.

To make therapy more accessible:

  • We offer a secure online portal and user-friendly scheduling system.

  • Each therapist reserves two sliding scale spots for clients with limited income.

  • We create and share free resources—articles, workbooks, videos, and more—to support the wider community.

Creating a Safe and Inclusive Healing Space

We are committed to fostering a community where every client is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect—regardless of age, race, gender identity or expression, disability, socioeconomic status, or any other aspect of identity.

We affirm your identity by honoring your chosen name and pronouns, and we encourage open dialogue around intersecting forms of marginalization. If any expressions of hate or intolerance arise, we address them therapeutically. Clients who are unwilling to participate in this process may be referred to other providers.

Our goal is to cultivate a space where healing, growth, and love can thrive—for everyone.
