The name "Raft" was conceived in my living room during a conversation about making mental health accessible to everyday people. Looking back, I didn't anticipate that it would evolve into something far more significant, shaping my entire professional journey.
A raft, in a metaphorical sense, refers to any simple or makeshift structure used for floating or navigating through water—a life raft. It symbolizes a support system or resource that helps individuals cope with challenges or navigate difficult situations in life. Rafts have existed since ancient times, serving as robust, reliable, replicable, and fault-tolerant survival mechanisms. They have withstood the test of time, and we invite you to find your raft with us and let it guide you to your true north.
Our mission is to offer people a realistic, grounded, and practical perspective on life and its challenges. We aim to provide a thread of hope and help individuals navigate through life's difficulties. Our tagline, "Towards your true north," reflects a lesson learned by everyone in our organization—to be true to oneself and navigate life in a way that makes sense to them. We understand that life can bring us down, but we are here to support each other.
What sets us apart from other mental health practices? We are a team of fun, dedicated individuals who base our methods on science, backed by evidence, and trained by leading professionals in the field of psychology.
