Words from the Owner

Hello, I’m Mauri- Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I started this practice to offer therapy that makes people feel truly seen, supported, and empowered. I saw how many were falling through the cracks—wanting help but unsure where to turn. I was determined to create a space that could change that.

At Bridging the Gap, we believe in real connection, cultural humility, and meeting people where they are. Whether you’re here for your child, your relationship, or yourself—you are welcome.

Our team is here to walk beside you as you heal, grow, and rediscover your strength.

It’s an honor to be part of your journey.

Mauri Tate, LCSW

Why We Do This Work

At Bridging the Gap Services, our passion for mental health care runs deeper than providing therapy — it’s about creating real change in the lives of the people we serve. Far too often, children, families, and individuals struggle in silence, feeling disconnected or overlooked. Our mission is to bridge that gap — between pain and healing, between feeling stuck and moving forward, between isolation and meaningful connection.
Each member of our team is here because they are deeply committed to making mental health care approachable, effective, and empowering. Whether it’s helping a child navigate big feelings, supporting a college student facing life transitions, strengthening a couple’s bond, or guiding an adult through trauma recovery — we consider it an honor to walk alongside our clients as they reclaim their strength and confidence.

This is more than our profession. It’s our calling.
