About Astute
At Astute, we believe mental health and wellness should be accessible, personalized, and empowering. We offer more than traditional therapy — we’ve created an integrated space where therapy, wellness services, and holistic classes come together to support your mind, body, and spirit.
What sets us apart is choice and accessibility. Whether you’re looking for individual therapy or couples therapy sessions, guided group yoga classes, acupuncture, somatic wellness services, pilates, sound, reiki, massage or a combination of it all, you get to build a mental health routine that fits your life — not the other way around.
Our team of experienced clinicians and wellness practitioners work collaboratively to address your unique needs. From evidence-based therapy to mindfulness practices, movement, and recovery treatments, we focus on the whole person, not just symptoms.
At Astute, you can come for therapy, stay for a wellness class, or design a full healing plan that evolves with you. It’s your journey — and we’re here to support every step.
Led by the visionary Owner and Head Clinician, Rebecca E. Tenzer, we believe in addressing all aspects of health. Your mental health supports your physical health and both are necessary to thrive. We have it all under one roof!
