Pick the closest fit. Not sure? Call and we will point you the right way, even if that is somewhere other than here.
Maybe they are going through a challenging adjustment. Maybe they are getting in trouble at school, having trouble getting along with others, or just do not seem like themselves. We help them understand their thoughts, feelings, behaviors and experiences, and work to remove the struggle.
Child and adolescent therapyWe work together to decide what changes you want to see. Our work with adults ranges from depression and anxiety to parenting support and nearly everything in between.
Adult therapyPsychological testing can clarify a diagnosis and your child’s mental health needs. An assessment also identifies their strengths, abilities and limitations, which is what schools and other providers need to see.
Psychological testingWhat happens next
Tell us briefly what is going on and who the therapy is for. We confirm fees, answer questions, and schedule your first appointment.
Expect a calm environment and a smiling face. This hour is your chance to confirm that we are a good fit before committing to anything further. Your therapist gathers information about you or your child’s needs and history. Children are included in an age-appropriate way and can play or draw to stay engaged.
Ongoing appointments happen weekly and are tailored to make the most progress on your goals. You will know what we are working toward and how it is going.
