Does the world seem chaotic and to not make sense? Does it seem like you should be able to do more, but just can’t? Does it seem like there are rules to life everyone else knows? Does it seem like when things go wrong, it’s your fault, but you don’t know why? Are you exhausted from ‘playing the role' of yourself in your life, trying to ‘do it right'? All families want peace, all individuals want greater ease and understanding in their lives. With over 25 years of providing services to exceptional individuals, I know the importance of having the right support for the need at hand.
At Connections Family and Behavioral Services work with individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum, behavioral, learning, and developmental diagnoses. We are passionate about supporting individuals, children, and families with the most effective treatment possible, including assessment, advocacy, and in-office therapy.
Connections Family and Behavioral Services focuses on play, mentoring, role-playing, behavioral and cognitive behavioral methods designed to improve the lives of individuals, children and families; to bring peace to the home and greater ease to life. All our therapists are trained in these modalities.
