How We Can Help

Diagnostic & Psychoeducational Testing

Get to the root of learning, emotional, or behavioral challenges with comprehensive evaluations, including cognitive functioning, learning differences, attention issues, and more.

Executive Function Coaching

Help your child build the skills they need to succeed – at school and in life. Our coaches focus on time management, organization, planning, emotional regulation, and goal-setting, using strategies tailored to your child’s age and needs.

Psychotherapy for Children, Teens, and Young Adults

Our licensed therapists provide a warm, supportive space where children, teens, and young adults can express themselves, learn coping skills, and work through challenges such as anxiety, depression, social struggles, and life transitions.

Occupational Therapy

Whether your child is struggling with motor coordination, sensory processing, or daily tasks like handwriting and dressing, our occupational therapists create personalized treatment plans that build confidence, independence, and life skills.

Speech & Language Therapy

We help children strengthen their communication skills—from articulation and expressive language to social interaction and classroom participation. 

Marriage & Family Therapy/Parenting Support

You don’t have to navigate this alone. We partner with parents to reduce power struggles, support emotional regulation at home, and establish routines that work. Through coaching and therapy, we help families create calmer, more connected relationships.

Medication Management

Some behavioral health conditions are most effectively treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Our Board-Certified Psychiatrist and Board-Certified Nurse Practitioners are available to assist families in discussing medication options.
