Parent Therapy

Although we adore your child… we don’t want to keep them in therapy forever! In order to promote a smooth transition out of therapy, our therapists work closely with parents to teach effective tools to use at home to continue the growth and progress made in therapy.

Adolescent Therapy

Less conflict, more connection! Our mission is to help your teen find more joy and ease in their life. Our preteen and teen therapists use a combination of CBT, DBT, art therapy, and mindfulness techniques to support this important life stage.

Child Therapy

Our experts work closely with parents to develop a therapy plan that targets their child’s goals and needs. 

 

We use a range of interventions such as imaginative play, mindfulness exercises, dance therapy, and sand tray play to make sure your child builds emotion regulation skills while having fun!

We focus on your child, not a diagnosis.
