Child and Adolescent Therapy

Children communicate differently from adults and, as experienced therapists, we meet them where they are.

Our therapy for younger children uses play and parent consultation in a safe setting that promotes trust and healthy development. Older children and adolescents receive therapy using evidence-based talk therapies tailored to each young person's specific needs and strengths.
