A Team of Caring Professionals

Our caring staff of professionals help children learn to cope with challenges, manage feelings of anger, sadness, and fear, and disruptive behaviors, setting them up for thriving later in life.

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, which may include group or family therapy.

Here’s How We Can Help

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 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.

Parents and caregivers of children ages 0-16 learn how to improve their relationships with their child, how to encourage desirable behaviors, how to teach new skills and manage misbehaviors.

Our staff psychiatrists conduct personalized assessments and, if necessary, prescribe and monitor medications to ensure each child receives the precise care they need.
