child and adolescent therapy
Child and/or adolescent psychotherapy focuses on helping them learn how to connect their behaviors to their thoughts and feelings, how to cope with stressors and/or trauma in a healthy manner, how to communicate effectively, and how to increase their capacity for self-compassion and self-soothing. Our clinicians utilize developmentally appropriate supplements (e.g., play, art, digital/media) to support the therapeutic process. Therapy for young children utilizes their natural ability of communicating through play, which can include sand play, Legos, games, and art. The sessions may be individual or family depending on the presenting issues and the age of the client, and the work often includes helping their parents/caregivers to provide a safe, supportive and loving environment, reduce conflict and increase communication. When appropriate, we will also engage schools, coaches, and other important individuals in your child and/or adolescent's life.

family therapy
The focus in family therapy is helping families of all ages and make-up work through challenges such as poor communication, rebellious behavior, or a lack of closeness. The therapist will help the family face these difficulties and develop more effective patterns in how they work together.
Couples therapy
Partners learn to understand their differences and utilize those differences to promote growth as a couple and increase intimacy. Couples develop healthier constructive ways to express their true feelings while still maintaining the ability to listen effectively. A safe atmosphere is created where each partner can own their contribution to the conflict and also receive the empathy of their partner.
