At Sanar, we believe healing is a human right. Our Wellness Center team is grounded in the provision of trauma-conscious and person-centered support as the heartbeat of our service model.

As a team of diverse individuals, with diverse lived experiences, we specialize in walking side by side each individual on their pathway to healing. We believe each person has unique strengths and we strive to match folx with their self-identified preference of therapeutic support to ensure each person can define their own journey to healing.
