We hope to get to know you and your family soon
Our team is dedicated to providing the best possible treatment in our work with children, teens, and families.
We believe that counseling is most successful when therapists work collaboratively with clients, and so that is how we will approach our sessions.
​
Kids: You are the most important person in the room. You get to be in charge of a lot of things and it's our job to follow your lead.
Parents: You are an expert on your child. Our job is to learn from the wisdom of your experience and figure out together how best to help and support you and your child.
