Are you a parent frustrated by your child's hyperactivity, battling for control, anger, defiance, or school behavior problems? Has your family experienced transitions like divorce, loss of a loved one, or moving to a new area? As parents, we want our children to be happy, healthy, well-rounded, joyful, and worry-free. We want them to be at peace with themselves and with others, and confident in themselves and their own abilities and aptitudes. If you need trusted counsel to help navigate broken relationships, hard choices, big challenges and tough losses, we are here.
We offer experienced clinicians who use Play Therapy and various other evidence-based modalities to help treat trauma, depression, anxiety, RAD, ODD, PTSD, ADHD and more. We believe that children and teens communicate best through play and expressive arts approaches. Visit our website to learn more details about our individual specialties.
We can offer children and parents an opportunity to learn practical skills to overcome challenges and restore joy to your relationships. If you would like to discuss how you can work together to help your child or teen navigate their journey, reach out today! Send an email or visit our website to submit a request (phone messages are not a preferred contact).
