For Children, Teens & Family
“Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.”
-Jess Lair
Collaboration & Communication
Does your child seem more worried or less flexible than other children? Are you concerned about depression, unhealthy relationships, self-harm, or other risky behaviors with your teen? Are you struggling to support your young adult who has anxiety and/or difficulty launching to college or beyond?
We believe every difficult behavior a child displays represents an unmet need– for children do the best they can with what they have.
Providing comprehensive, supportive, goal-oriented treatment for children, teens and families— we collaborate with the individual struggling, the family as a whole, as well as with your child or teen’s extended support team. Specifically, we communicate with and help coordinate care between your child's school, pediatrician, psychiatrist, and with other individuals important in his/her life.
Ultimately, we strive to heal individual and family challenges through deeper connections and increased understanding, coupled with age-appropriate expectations and boundaries.
Specifically, our experienced, licensed therapists treat a variety of concerns, including:
Family Conflict
Life Transitions
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Peer Relationships
Phobias
Self-Harming
Self-Esteem
Sleep Problems
Technology Concerns

Anxiety
Academic/School Difficulties
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Support for Teens, Young Adults & Families
We also can help address the unique needs of teens and young adults, including issues related to identity, independence, self-esteem, and life direction. In particular, the transition to adulthood— from applying to colleges, to moving away from home— can bring mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression and uncertainty, to the forefront.
So, with a depth of experience in addressing these concerns, we empower teens and college students by teaching them coping strategies and tools that will help them manage their emotional well-being more effectively.
And, we also appreciate how challenging it can be to launch a young person into independence— especially if your child is contending with stress, depression, anxiety, or uncertainty.
To further ensure your child’s well-being, we collaborate and communicate with you— the parents— and your family as a whole to develop a support network that promotes mental health and resilience.
