Join our community of culturally-competent
therapists & coaches
Spend your time doing what you love most:
Providing high-quality care to those who are underserved, and leave the rest to us.
Our providers receive training in Anise’s culturally-responsive care model. As culturally-competent therapists and coaches, our providers can effectively navigate clients’ behaviors driven by cultural context and drive outcomes.
Research shows that culturally-adapted interventions are 4.7x more effective than conventional or unadapted care. We also offer peer consultation groups to foster community across our network of mission-oriented providers and to support your continued development & learning.
