L’espace was founded in 2020

by Dr. Rhea Marshall-Denton (Phd/PsyD) and Dr. Alexandra Oliveira Paiva (PsyD) after several years of planning and preparation.

Since meeting in 2013, we’ve imagined our ideal psychology clinic. We imagined a workspace for psychologists that is dynamic and supportive. We imagined a space for clients that is modern, open and welcoming in its aesthetics and values. From this vision, L’espace was born.

The clinic’s name, L’espace, refers to more than the physical space the clinic occupies. From the start, we sought to create a beautiful space that supports and facilitates inner and outer growth, while challenging the status quo. L’espace exists to address modern mental health issues in a modern way. We’re here to destigmatize therapy and show our community that mental health care isn’t something to be ashamed of; it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
