Holistic Mental Health Care for Teens & Adults in Chico, CA
Welcome to Tula.
At Tula Therapeutic Collective, we believe healing is a human right. We are a queer and feminist group practice offering affirming, anti-oppressive therapy for individuals, couples, and families. Rooted in collective care and liberatory frameworks, we center those most impacted by systems of harm - including LGBTQIA+ communities, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and disabled folks—and provide a space where your full self is seen, honored, and supported.
Why We Are Here.
Tula Therapeutic Collective is a queer and feminist group practice rooted in the belief that healing is a human right. We offer affirming, anti-oppressive care that centers the lives, identities, and lived experiences of those who have too often been overlooked or pathologized in traditional mental health spaces.
At Tula, you don’t have to leave any part of yourself behind. We honor the complexity and wholeness of who you are - queer, trans, BIPOC, disabled, neurodivergent, and beyond - and meet you with warmth, respect, and an unwavering commitment to your growth and liberation. Our work is grounded in feminist theory, collective care, and the radical notion that healing is not only possible - it’s a form of resistance.
We serve individuals, couples, families, and communities across the lifespan. Whether you're processing trauma, exploring identity, navigating systems of oppression, or simply seeking a space where you can be fully seen and supported, you are welcome here.
This is not neutral therapy. This is healing in community, in context, and in relationship. Because healing isn’t a luxury - it’s your right.
Our Inspiration
The word Tula shows up in languages spanning the globe and across time. It is a word that deeply resonates with our work, and is inviting to all seeking holistic mental health care.
Here are just some of the meanings Tula holds:
"to be tranquil" in Kiswahili
"balance" in Sanskrit
"mountain peak" in Choctaw
“a poem” in Tagalog
"a vine grown for its fruit" in Chilean Spanish
and so much more.
We believe every being is deserving of joy, equanimity, and peace. We hope you will find your center, your balance, ad tranquility while in our care and in your daily life.
