INTRO

​

We meet all clients, children and families where they are. We try to put everyone at ease, answer all your questions and begin to instill hope that the problems will get better. Once you contact us we can set up an intake appointment or provide a phone consultation with you to best understand your concerns and determine if the services we provide can best meet your needs.If we are unable to provide services we will help you find a more appropriate provider.

​

OUR APPROACH

​

Our approach is assuming that you have been doing the best you can considering what you have been through and we will utilize a strengths based approach to connect with you and formulate a treatment plan. We are firm believers of utilizing treatments that have a strong demonstrated success of working through vigorous research. After meeting we will give you our impressions and treatment recommendations. For child therapy clients we expect to meet with caregivers briefly every session and to work with you as the person who knows your child best. For all therapy we will have clear goals, measure progress through standardized measures and continue to update you to changes we observe and treatment plan changes.
