We specialize in working with children, teens and young adults who are struggling with behavioral and emotional issues, including trauma (PTSD), mood dysregulation (DMDD), oppositional behaviors (ODD, CD), and related challenges. We also support caregivers and families as part of the therapeutic process. We do not provide services for autism spectrum disorder or high-acuity mental health needs requiring hospitalization or intensive care.

We are working to become in-network with several insurance providers and also offer private pay options. Please contact us to confirm whether we are paneled with your insurance plan. If we are not in-network, we can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.

The first session is an intake appointment where we get to know you and your child. We’ll talk about what brings you in, gather some history, and begin setting goals for treatment. This session may include both caregiver and child participation, depending on the child’s age and needs. It will take approximately 1-1.5 hours.

Individual therapy sessions typically last 45–50 minutes and are held once a week. Frequency may vary depending on your child’s needs and treatment goals. We also offer parent support and family sessions as appropriate.

We believe family involvement is key to a child’s success in therapy. Caregivers are encouraged to participate regularly, either through check-ins, joint sessions, or separate parent support sessions, depending on the child’s age and treatment plan.

It’s common for children and teens to feel unsure or resistant at first. We take a supportive, relationship-based approach to help them feel safe and understood. We’ll work together to build trust and help them engage in the process at their own pace.
