Therapy
We provide evidence-based therapies with children and adolescents. We offer individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and parent coaching.
Our therapy approach is skills-based, goal-oriented, and brief.
We specialize in evidence-based therapies including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), parent coaching, and social skill coaching.

- resilience

- calming & coping tools
- brave tools
- distress tolerance
- self regulation
- social problem solving
- self care or healthy habits
- interpersonal communication

- friendship & relationship building skills
We are a close-knit team of therapists who are compassionate, collaborative, and comprehensively trained.
We support our clients through developmental life challenges including grief, loss, separation, and divorce. We specialize in working with multicultural, international, and adoptive families.
Individual Therapy
Children and adolescents can engage in individual therapy at Seesaw. Typically, the therapist and client meet regularly once a week. Each therapy session is 50 minutes. We provide in-person therapy but offer telehealth sessions, if necessary.
Parent consultation is an essential part of therapy with children and adolescents.
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 fun and safe space to share and learn in a small group. In group therapy, we create natural opportunities to generalize prosocial skills. Groups meet weekly for 50 minutes.
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.
