Child Behavioral Therapy
& Play Therapy
Every child deserves to find their superpowers. Especially those who hear “stop that,” “hurry up” or “calm down” every day. Discover how much fun child therapy can be, and watch your child and family learn to shine!
Therapy for
Teens and Tweens
Teens and tweens have a lot to manage! Social media. Friendship drama. Growing piles of schoolwork. This time brings up big emotions and big arguments. Therapy can help your teen/tween feel better and make good decisions, with some adult support.
SPACE Treatment
for Child Anxiety
SPACE = Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions. This unique evidence based approach to treating child anxiety involves helping the parent help the child, and is as effective as child CBT! Attend together or alone.
Therapy for Adult ADHD
Life is complicated. ADHD can make managing all the details harder. A few key strategies can get you back on track, and let your ADHD superpowers shine. Our neurodivergence friendly ADHD specialists will show you how.
Therapy for Adults
You want to strengthen a relationship, but don’t know what to say or do. A major life change just tossed your life upside down. You want your best self to shine, but keep getting stuck. Therapy can help you define and achieve your goals. Let us show you how.
Couples Therapy/
Marriage Counseling
Our licensed Couples Therapists help couples reconnect, resolve conflicts, and heal from past hurts. You’ll meet the therapist together to make sure it’s the right fit for you both before you start. (Poly and non-married partners welcome!)
Family Therapy
Conflict is normal. But when you aren’t having any fun together or start avoiding each other to get some peace, it’s time for change. Family counseling can help you communicate clearly, set boundaries and expectations, and understand each other better.
Parenting Support
Why doesn’t my child listen to me?! Parent support sessions can add tools to your parenting toolbox. Our supportive, nonjudgmental counselors will help you solve the parenting challenges you’re facing now, and become the parent you hope to be down the road.
