Child Therapy
Specialized therapy for children using play-based techniques to address emotional regulation, neurodivergence, and behavioral challenges. Our therapists work with parents to improve family dynamics and support child development through relationship-centered approaches. Services include assessment, skill-building, and trauma-informed interventions for children aged 0-12.
Teen Counseling
Support for teenagers navigating anxiety, identity exploration, and life transitions. Our trauma-informed approach addresses self-esteem issues, social challenges, and family conflicts through somatic awareness and non-violent communication. Sessions focus on building emotional resilience and improving parent-teen relationships through collaborative therapy models.
Couples Therapy
Evidence-based counseling for couples addressing communication breakdowns, trust issues, and life transitions. Using Gottman methods and PACT therapy, we help partners rebuild connection through emotional honesty and pattern recognition. Sessions focus on improving intimacy and developing conflict resolution skills for long-term relationship success.
Family Counseling
Systemic therapy addressing family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, and communication challenges. Our approach incorporates Internal Family Systems and family systems theory to improve relational patterns. Services include parent coaching and sibling conflict resolution for families with neurodivergent members and complex needs.
Neurodivergent Support
Specialized services for neurodivergent individuals and their families, including autism, ADHD, and giftedness support. Therapists use neuro-affirming practices to address sensory processing, executive functioning, and self-advocacy skills. Family sessions focus on improving understanding and creating supportive environments for neurodivergent children and adults.
