Individual and Family
Psychotherapy

Child, Teen, Young Adult & Family Therapy

We believe therapy should feel human, connected, and deeply respectful of each person’s story. Our work is grounded in child development, attachment, and family systems, recognizing that none of us develops in isolation. Who we are is shaped by our relationships, experiences, environments, and the people we are connected to.

We provide individual clinical therapy for children, teens, and young adults ages 8–24, meeting each person where they are developmentally and emotionally. For younger children, typically age 7 and under, our work is primarily family-systems focused, working closely with parents and caregivers alongside the child. At this age, some of the most meaningful and lasting change happens not only within the child, but within the relationships and environment surrounding them.

 

Children

Our work with children focuses on helping them understand themselves, build emotional awareness, develop healthy coping skills, and gain the tools they need to navigate challenges and thrive. Through an attachment-based and developmental lens, we create a space where children can feel safe, heard, understood, and accepted.

But we don't expect children to do this work alone. We partner with parents and caregivers to better understand what may be underneath a child's emotions and behaviors and to strengthen the relationship around them. We help parents learn to attune to their child's needs, emotion coach through difficult moments, set healthy and developmentally appropriate limits, redirect challenging behaviors, and build connection, even in the hard moments.

 

Teens & Young Adults

Adolescence and young adulthood bring enormous growth and change. Identity, relationships, independence, school, family, friendships, anxiety, loss, pressure, and questions about Who am I? and Where do I fit? can all collide during these years.

Our work with teens and young adults offers a genuine, nonjudgmental relationship where they can explore what they're experiencing, make sense of their story, develop healthier ways of coping, and build a stronger sense of self. We don't approach young people as problems to be fixed. We walk alongside them as they learn to understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, strengthen their relationships, and become more confident in who they are.

 

Family Systems

Families come in all shapes, structures, and seasons of life. We work with traditional and nontraditional families, single-parent families, blended and stepfamilies, adoptive and foster families, multigenerational families, and families navigating significant transitions or changes in their relationships.

​

Through a family-systems and attachment lens, we look beyond one person's behavior or symptoms to understand the relationships, patterns, experiences, and dynamics surrounding them. Sometimes the most powerful way to support a child is to support the adults who love them. Sometimes it means working directly with the child. And often, it means doing both.

At the heart of all of our work is the belief that every person's story has meaning, every person deserves dignity, and every person deserves to feel heard and understood.

We show up authentically and as humans. We sit alongside our clients in grief, sadness, anger, pain, uncertainty, confusion, surprise, growth, relief, and joy. We hold space for the hard things while helping children, young people, and families discover new ways to cope, connect, heal, and move forward.

It is an honor to walk alongside each child, young person, parent, and family who trusts us with their story.
