Luma
A community of clinicians committed to providing exceptional mental health care.
We independently operate our own practices, but come together for the accountability, collaboration, and consultation that enhance evidence-based treatments.
The Luma Story
It began with a decision to go solo.
Several clinicians had grown tired of the policies, demands, and bureaucracy of the healthcare systems they worked in and had each decided to branch out into their own private practices.
We were on our own, but we weren’t alone.
Shared values and a tenacious love for what we do drew us together as colleagues. Over coffee and conference calls we found the consultation and inspiration we needed to grow and strengthen our individual practices.
Soon it wasn’t enough to be free from constraints.
We wanted to hold ourselves and each other to a higher standard; and in our own small way, we wanted to advance the field by making it easier for others to do the same.
So we began experimenting with ways of improving client outcomes
We outlined a set of standards and brainstormed how we could make it easier for ourselves and those who shared our ambitions to comply with these best practices .
Luma mental health initiative was established.
We committed to operating our individual practices around the values and standards we’d established, while building a community of like minded clinicians with similar aspirations.
