Where therapeutic theory meets real-world practice.
The Center for Praxis bridges clinical theory and lived practice through therapy, training, supervision, research, and community partnership.
What we mean by Praxis
Praxis is the ongoing exchange between theory and practice. At the Center for Praxis, we believe effective therapeutic work is both theoretically sound and shaped by what actually happens in the field. Our work is grounded in real communities, real systems, and real clinical contexts.
Effective therapeutic work lives at the intersection of theory and practice.
