Our Founder’s Vision

Miranda Dinkins, LCSW, knows firsthand the challenges of navigating life as a black, Christian, artsy, valley-girl accented teenager in Southern California. Faced with a lack of understanding and acceptance, Miranda learned to mask her true self and hide her struggles behind a smile. But college became her escape, a journey of self-discovery and transformation that ultimately led her to create the spaces she needed as a teen and young adult—a place where it's okay to be vulnerable, to express emotions, and to seek support without judgment.

Words from Miranda Dinkins, LCSW

"Having completed my educational journey at the University of Southern California, Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, I've had the privilege of supporting clients in a variety of settings, from inpatient substance abuse treatment centers to local high schools. Each experience has deepened my understanding of the human experience and reaffirmed my commitment to this work. I am humbled and honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey to healing and self-discovery."
