Built From the Community
Street Therapy was born out of love for young people who needed more than the system was giving them. We show up so they don't have to figure it out alone.
Healing Through Community
Street Therapy exists to empower youth and through mentorship, recreation, education, and real community connection. We meet people where they are no judgment, no barriers and walk alongside them toward a better future.
Community First
Every program, every decision starts with what the community actually needs.
No Judgment
We meet people where they are. Everyone deserves a chance to grow.
Real Mentorship
Our mentors have lived experience. They know the path because they've walked it.
Youth Empowerment
We invest in young people because they are the future of this community.
How Street Therapy Began
Street Therapy was founded by Byron Coulbourn after more than a decade of working with youth across the world. Seeing the gaps in support for young people, especially those caught up in the justice system or facing violence. Mr. Coulbourn came home and built something different. What started as a vision became a center, a set of programs, and a community of mentors, families, and young people all committed to the same thing: healing through connection.
