This change in seasons calls for our change in movements.

 

Less networking, and more gathering.

Less expending, and more conserving. 

Less grit, and more grace. 

​

We're looking for 5-6 members to join our Fall, 2026 CSC Group this upcoming season. Because really the truest flex is a supportive community. 

​

And that's what we're all about here at Era.

Master Luna Grp2_edited.jpg

The LUNA Group came out of necessity.

From natural connections made over the years with a common thread tied throughout.

We believe in this work. We believe in hope. And we believe in the power of togetherness.

​

LUNA is here to build on the wisdom and expertise from dedicated trauma providers.

LUNA is here to cultivate the humanity and realness that sits at the intersections of today's adverse world.

LUNA is here to provide and receive connection through humor, food, and story-sharing pulled from our ancestral ways of healing. 

​

Please welcome the founding members of The LUNA Group of 2026

Liz Ojeda, Founder & Clinical Lead

Rooted in Spirit was created to empower taekwondo athletes both within and beyond the mat. Our foundation lies in our inner strength, cultivated resilience, courage, and integrity embraced through vulnerability.​ ​​ 

This program is the first of its kind to offer comprehensive services to support the person and the athlete through individual therapy, mentorship, and group counseling. 

OUR SERVICES

At Era Center we have come to understand traumatic stress in the broadest of senses. The individual, interpersonal, and systemic effects of sexual assault can be pervasive and unyielding. Our hope is to intercept these chain of events and restore safety and agency in others.

Stressed Woman

THERAPY

The journey we take together begins in the partnership we create in the therapeutic space. This is essential. The process will take time. We ask that you give yourself permission to come as you are when you are ready.

​

It can take a lot to get here.

PARTNERSHIP

PROGRAMS

We emphasize the importance of creating a more trauma-informed society with our neighboring community providers. We believe in stepping beyond our own walls and sharing our knowledge of sexual assault and its impact on the people we serve.

CONSULTATION

We offer extensive training specializing in treating traumatic stress. Our trauma-informed, interdisciplinary curriculum includes focused topics such as object relations and attachment theory, neurobiology of trauma,the violence of trauma in a social context , etc.

 SUPPORT OUR SUPPORTERS

Over the past few years we have been invited into spaces to sit alongside providers who are at the front lines of this work. Clinicians. Teachers. Volunteers. Foster parents. And there we have offered training, discussion, and restorative healing for these individuals who carry so much.

---

This is our commitment in this movement.

Community healing through community support.

We completed our second leg of our 2-part contract with First 5 at Rebekah's beautiful facility in Gilroy. To continue the conversation about trauma, collective healing, and somatic practice is the true core of community care and accountability.

Good Faith Estimate

​

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers, like ourselves, need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 

 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask us for a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling.
