therapy for young men, redefined.

wake up, show up, grow up

Our evidence-based methods unfold over time. Real growth takes practice.

_wtf is this?

We’re an alternative to traditional treatment. After 30 years in mental health, we realized a few things:

  • We’re all about community – because people don’t heal alone.
  • We engage the body – because people are stuck in their heads.
  • We’re long term – because growth takes time.
  • We are not a rehab – because not everybody belongs in treatment.

Welcome to the club

We’ve taken “therapy” out of the office and into “The Lab”— a 5,000 sq. ft. space with an indoor basketball court, boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, a media lounge, cold plunge, sauna, and co-working spaces.

What do young men need right now:

  • Support from mentors
  • Self esteem
  • Drive & Energy
  • Relationship
  • Resilience
  • Awareness
  • Attunement
  • Mental toughness
  • Good habits
  • Good boundaries
  • Purpose

_mission statement

_issues we address

  • Failure to launch
  • Anxiety & depression
  • Lack of motivation

_how does it work?

Our Roots

We’re grounded in humanistic psychology and neurobiology, using evidence-based approaches to create the conditions for growth. Antedote draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, somatic practices, and developmental psychology.

Nuts & Bolts

Members meet 3-5 times a week for structured group work, supported by experienced guides. We also offer 1:1 coaching to meet both emotional and practical needs, with all guides supervised by Masters-level clinicians.

The Circle

We use the power of play, connection, and group-based therapies to help young men find purpose and belonging. Our unique approach blends cutting-edge therapeutic techniques with embodied, experience-based learning to overcome the limits of traditional treatment. In our community, members build the strength to face life with courage and steadiness.

Family Practice

Families meet monthly for workshops where they learn new ways of connecting, communicate with compassion, and take emotional risks—because healing together brings real change.
