Team Equal House
We are a part of a quiet revolution. It happens in the morning rush. In who remembers the permission slip. In who gets to rest.
We are changing what love looks like—one home at a time.
Who We Are
Beth Power
Beth is a therapist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy and somatic work, with a deep understanding of the neurobiology that anchors lasting change. She brings clinical expertise and a warm, relational approach to helping couples break cycles and rebuild love.
Cate Croft
Cate is a creative director, designer, and writer who works at the intersection of gender, economic, and racial justice. Her work centers on translating complex ideas into accessible frameworks and believes that good design can change how we live and love.
Amy Benjamin
Amy is a therapist who believes that change is not only possible but part of what makes us beautifully human. She helps clients create thriving relationships by blending clinical skill with genuine curiosity (and a little bit of nerdy joy about the brain and behavior). Her work is grounded in warmth, humor, and a deep respect for each person’s ability to grow.

MANIFESTO
On Structure
Good love needs good architecture.
The invisible shapes everything. How cities are built. How language moves. How love flourishes or starves. We believe the structures we choose become the lives we live—and once you see the architecture, you can finally choose to rebuild it.
On Sovereignty
All deserve margin. Space to rest, dream, and become.
We believe in the sacredness of becoming. In room to want. In space to grow. Love should be a shelter for your wholeness, not the thing that asks you to disappear.
On Legacy
On LEGACY
This generational work.
We are all inheritors. We will all be ancestors. The love we practice today becomes the love our children believe is possible. We don't take lightly that justice begins at the kitchen table. The patterns we break, the tenderness we protect—this is how we bend the arc. One home at a time.
It's all about love, really.
OUR ORIGIN STORY
It started over negronis.
It was the holidays. We were fried. Between us: multiple toddlers, running each of our businesses, full lives, and marriages to genuinely good men—men who cared, men who believed in equality.
And still, we were drowning.
That December night, when we finally said it out loud, neither of us needed an explanation. We already got it. So we did what women tend to do—we tried to solve it. We processed, researched, tested language and systems, failed in real time, and learned what actually worked inside the mess of real family life. Not theory. Real tools, forged inside real relationships.
Fast forward a few years. Sitting across from therapy client after therapy client, Beth heard the same story on repeat. Different homes, different incomes, different cultures. Same pattern. Women carrying the invisible architecture of family life. Men wanting to show up, but lacking the structure to do so.
This is where we realized: A structural problem needs a structure to solve it.
Equal House didn’t arrive fully formed. Beth approached Cate and Amy, with the idea. What if we made it our job to solve this?
Both of us said no. We were too busy, too tired. Too deep in the very lives this work was trying to address.
A few weeks later, Cate came back.
A few weeks after that, Amy did too.
We were all in.
What emerged is Equal House—born from lived experience, clinical rigor, and a refusal to accept that this is just how love has to be.
