Individual Therapy
Children and adolescents work with us individual therapy. Typically, the therapist and client meet regularly once a week. Each therapy session is 50 minutes. We prefer in-person therapy but can offer telehealth sessions or briefer (30 minute) sessions if needed.
Parent consultation is an essential part of therapy with children and adolescents. At times, provide parent-child therapy or family therapy as well.
Group Therapy
Group Therapy is tailored and beneficial for children and adolescents who are motivated to practice their social emotional skills with compatible same-aged peers. Social emotional skills are taught and practiced with 1 – 2 peers and a therapist. We strive to provide a safe and fun atmosphere in our small group. The small group creates natural opportunities to generalize one’s skills. The therapy session is 50 minutes and we meet weekly.
Parent Coaching
We work closely with our parents and help to refine and align parenting practices and enhance family harmony. Our therapists provide tailored techniques and interventions informed by empirically-supported parenting programs. Our Parent Coaching program is designed for couples, partners, co-parents, or single parents. We typically meet for 4 to 8 sessions over a span of 3 to 6 months.
