Dr. Becky Rudd, the CEO and Clinical Director of Center for Solace, envisioned a counseling center that was staffed by the highest-quality, most theoretically sound, relationship-focused therapists who possessed an innate desire for a lifetime of learning. She knew the one-size-fits-all generalist training approach to mental health was wholly inadequate and, in time of evidence-based practices, wanted to work with therapists who were inherently passionate about specialized training, supervised experience and mastery of evidence-based practices. Clients can rest easy knowing therapists chosen to join Center for Solace have met rigorous qualifications, receive ongoing consultation by specialists and put the therapeutic relationship in the center of all we do.
