Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

We are a virtual therapy collective serving clients in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. Since we do not have a physical office, all sessions are conducted online. Our therapists are licensed to work with clients in these states only, as per licensing regulations.

How do you determine who works with whom?
Tended Collective is made up of experienced therapists who specialize in serving K-12 educators. During your consultation, you’ll discuss your needs and preferences with your therapist of interest to support your journey. Our team is skilled and fully equipped to meet the unique challenges educators face.

What are your hours?
Therapist availability varies, but sessions are offered during non-traditional hours, including mornings before 8 AM and evenings from 4 PM to 7 PM, with some weekend availability. Specific schedules can be discussed during your consultation.

How long will therapy take?

Therapy is unique to each individual. There is no set timeline—it’s a process tailored to your goals and needs. Trust the journey, and together, we’ll work toward meaningful progress.

How is therapy different from coaching?

Therapy is conducted by licensed professionals who adhere to strict regulations and professional standards. It goes beyond goal-setting to address the deeper connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy helps you unpack past experiences, identify patterns, and build tools for lasting growth. While coaching has its place, it does not replace the depth and regulation of therapy.
