Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions provide a safe space for adults to explore emotional challenges and life transitions. With specialized approaches for creative professionals and immigrants, we help clients develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. Our therapists work collaboratively to create personalized treatment plans that promote lasting personal growth and emotional resilience.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling at Footprint addresses communication breakdowns, intimacy issues, and conflict resolution for all relationship types. Our therapists help partners navigate premarital planning, parenting disagreements, and recovery from infidelity. Through evidence-based techniques, we foster healthier relationship patterns and improve emotional connection between partners seeking to strengthen their commitment.
Child Therapy
Our child therapy services use play-based and developmentally appropriate techniques to address behavioral and emotional challenges in children. Specialized programs focus on social skills development, trauma recovery, and emotional regulation. We work closely with families to create supportive environments that promote healthy psychological development and academic success through individualized therapeutic interventions.
Psycho-educational Evaluations
Comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations identify learning differences, ADHD, and cognitive challenges in children and young adults. Our assessments combine standardized testing with clinical observations to develop actionable recommendations for schools and families. We provide detailed reports supporting IEP development and academic accommodations while emphasizing each child's unique strengths and potential.
Adult Groups
Footprint's adult group programs create supportive communities for specific populations including immigrant women and perinatal mothers. Our structured group sessions combine peer support with professional guidance to address shared challenges.
