Here’s how we can help:
Individual Therapy
We provide individual therapy in our office, in the home and through telehealth services via phone and video sessions. A therapist helps to identify problems and develops a treatment plan. Family members, caregivers and friends may also be involved as needed.
Group and Family Therapy
Group therapy helps children share their feelings with others. In this safe environment, children can share and receive support from others in the group.
Family therapy is helpful for decreasing family conflict and strengthening relationships within the family.
Parenting Classes
Parents and caregivers of children ages 0-16 that are exhibiting behavior problems learn how to improve their relationships with their child, how to encourage desirable behaviors, how to teach new skills and manage misbehaviors.
Medication Support
Medication can be effective for treating depression, anxiety and behavioral problems. Our staff psychiatrists perform individualized assessments, prescribe and monitor medication if needed.
