A place to land.

Therapy that feels like coming home.

We aren't just therapists. We're people too — navigating the same relationships, the same transitions, the same in-between you're standing in. Three offices across South Bend. Twenty-three clinicians. One place to land.

The Cottage at 933

Sitting down with a perfect stranger and sharing the deepest, most vulnerable parts of yourself can be intimidating. We get that.

We believe therapy works. We've built a practice grounded in integrity, collaboration, and genuine care — for the clients who walk in our door and the therapists who work here. Read more about how the Cottage came to be.

Founders

Danika &
Andrea.

Two therapists who started The Cottage on a simple bet: that you can build a practice that actually takes care of its therapists, and that those therapists then take better care of their clients. Two decades and three locations later, the bet seems to be paying off.

Danika Lowry and Andrea Eriks, founders of The Cottage
