Early Childhood

Young children communicate and experience life very differently from adults. Instead of using words, they often express their thoughts and feelings through behavior and play. Because of this, they benefit from therapy that is specifically designed for their stage of development.

Children may come to therapy for many different reasons, and our team has specialized training and experience in early childhood mental health. We work closely with both children and their families to understand what’s going on and how to best support them.

Therapy at this age is play-based, interactive, and centered on relationships…especially the connection between a child and their caregiver. Continue reading to learn more about how therapy can support young children and their families.

Therapy for children ages 0–5

    • Difficulty with emotional regulation (tantrums, big feelings, trouble settling)

    • Separation challenges and transitions (school, caregivers, routines)

    • Early anxiety or behavioral concerns (phobias, avoidance, general fears)

    • Experiences of stress or trauma (medical events, hospitalizations, disasters, disruptions in family environment)

    • Strengthening attachment and connection between child and their caregiver

  • Sessions with young children are play-based and interactive, using toys, movement, and shared activities to support expression, regulation, and connection.

    Sessions often include both the child and caregiver together, though some cases may warrant individual therapy with the child depending on the child’s needs.

    Sessions may include:

    • Pretend play that reflects a child’s internal experiences

    • Movement, sensory play, and co-regulation with a caregiver

    • Art-based and creative activities

    • Gentle support and skill-building during moments of frustration or dysregulation

    • Real-time support of parent-child interactions

  • Our work is developmentally informed and relationship-based. We draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed models, including:

    • Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)

    • DIR-Floortime
      Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)

    • EMDR adapted for young children

    • Attachment-based and play-based therapies

    • Infant massage and early bonding work

  • Parents and caregivers are an essential part of early childhood therapy. Caregivers are often directly involved in sessions, and regular parent sessions are provided to:

    • Share insights about the child’s emotional world and developmental needs

    • Build strategies that can be used at home

    • Strengthen connection and co-regulation between caregiver and child

    Our goal is not just to support the child in session, but to support the relationships and environments that shape their everyday experience.

SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN & teens

Therapy for children
ages 6-18

As children grow, their emotional world becomes more complex. Their understanding of themselves, others, and the world shifts with their development, which means therapy must be tailored to where they are…not just by their age, but by how they think, process, and experience the world.

Our team provides developmentally informed care that adapts to each child’s developmental level, ensuring that interventions are understood, engaging, and effective.

Therapy offers a space where children and teens can feel understood while building skills to navigate relationships, school, identity, life stressors, and more.

    • Anxiety, worry, or perfectionism

    • Emotional regulation challenges and coping skills

    • Social difficulties and peer relationships

    • Behavioral concerns and the emotional needs underlying them

    • Self-esteem, identity, and confidence

    • Neurodivergence (with additional specialized services available)

    • Processing life events, stress, or transitions

    • Games, art, or interactive activities to support engagement and expression

    • Problem-solving and skill-building around real-life situations

    • Exploring thoughts, feelings, and relationships in a developmentally appropriate way

    • Support in identifying patterns and building insight

    • Regular check-ins with caregivers at the beginning or end of sessions when helpful

    Sessions are designed to meet each child where they are by balancing support and skill-building while providing a space to feel understood.

  • Our work integrates evidence-based and relational approaches, including:

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

    • DIR-Floortime

    • Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)

    • Play-based and expressive therapies

    • Attachment-informed and relational approaches

    Interventions are always adapted to the child’s developmental level so that they are meaningful, accessible, and effective.

  • Parents and caregivers remain an important part of the therapy process to support children and adolescents.

    We work collaboratively with caregivers to support meaningful and lasting change across environments, including home, school, and relationships.

    Caregiver involvement may include:

    • Regular parent sessions to discuss progress, themes, and strategies

    • Guidance on how to support your child’s emotional and behavioral needs at home

    • Support navigating challenges in real-life situations

    • Strengthening communication and connection within the family

    A Note on Confidentiality:
    As children grow, their need for privacy also increases. We honor their legal right to privacy and confidentiality carefully by:

    • Sharing general themes, progress, and recommendations with caregivers without divulging specific information

    • Protecting the child’s private disclosures unless there is a safety concern

    • Collaborating with both child and caregiver to build trust and transparency

    Our goal is to help children feel safe and open in therapy, while also ensuring caregivers feel informed, supported, and involved in helping their child.

NEURODIVERGENT INDIVIDUALS

Therapy for neurodivergent children and adults

We provide neurodiversity-affirming therapy for children, teens, and adults with neurodevelopmental differences, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Our work is centered on understanding, supporting, and honoring each person’s unique way of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world. We are highly trained in working with neurodivergent individuals and focus on helping each person live in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and aligned with their goals and experience.

Rather than trying to change who someone is, our therapy approach focuses on building understanding, reducing distress, and creating systems and supports that work with our neurodivergent patients, not against them.
