Have you noticed that your child isn’t responding when spoken to, or isn’t initiating speech, despite having the ability to speak? Are you receiving school reports that your child’s behaviors are out of control? Is your preschooler being threatened with expulsion?

As a concerned parent, you may have experienced sleepless nights wondering how to help your child, which can lead to frustration and feelings of isolation. Childthrive’s philosophy is to help parents help their children. With the guidance of a skilled clinician, a parent's dedicated commitment can increase a child's desired behaviors and confidence.

Childthrive provides advanced specialty care in child psychology and offers targeted, evidenced-based treatment of selective mutism (SM), social anxiety disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).
