Hi, Iā€™m Mandi, co-founder and Executive Director of Porchlight.

After much dreaming, plenty of questions, and just the right amount of discomfort, Porchlight launched in February of 2020. When considering what this work would look like, our target audience was those who are suffering, frustrated, and holding on to a little bit of hope. We opened with a commitment to providing high-quality, trauma-specific care for individuals and our community. The world shifted just two weeks in, and our capacity and flexibility shifted to match the needs before us. We continue to grow and change right alongside our clients, with the steadfast commitment to be a welcoming space for those we serve.


We strive to meet our clients with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. We really love this work and we recognize the importance of therapy as a part of what helps a person live a fulfilling life. Our hope is to play a meaningful role in the larger picture of health. We have wonderful partners in this work and hope to continue building connections in our community.


Porchlight clinicians are passionate about their work and each of them are wildly curious!  We enjoy learning about effective treatments, emerging research, and, most importantly, we love learning about the person in the seat across from us. We are grateful for the opportunity to hold onto a little bit of hope with you.
