Parenting is hard. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Tantrums that don’t make sense. School refusal. Big emotions after a long day. Worry that keeps them up at night. Meltdowns after school. Pulling away from friends. If you’re wondering whether you should have noticed sooner, you’re not alone. Most parents feel the same way.

  • Play-based therapy

    Games, art, and storytelling help younger children express what words can't.

  • Skill-building focus

    Every session builds real tools — coping strategies, emotional vocabulary, and social skills your child can use every day.

  • Parent involvement

    You're part of the process. Regular check-ins and guidance so progress continues at home.

  • Developmental awareness

    Therapy is tailored to your child's developmental stage — from early childhood through pre-teen years.

She was so patient with my son! At first he was too scared and refused to talk to her. By the end of the session I couldn’t get him to stop talking 😄

My daughter is quite introverted and finds it difficult to open up. Not only is she comfortable with Maggie, she’s also using the skills she’s learning outside of session.

Getting tips on setting up a schedule for him to stick to with school starting was extremely helpful. She also gave us a child emotion chart that's been great in expressing what we are feeling when we might not have the words for the emotions, this has been great. Ari has been able to really help my son work through lots of issues that kept us bumping heads before and we are really making great progress.

Frequently asked questions

If your child is struggling with big emotions, behavior changes, school avoidance, or withdrawal from friends and activities, therapy can help.

You don't need a diagnosis to start. Many parents reach out simply because something feels off — and that instinct is worth following.

Yes. Therapy sessions are private and protected under HIPAA, even for minors. Your child's therapist will not share session details without consent, except in cases involving safety.

Parents receive regular updates on progress and goals without compromising your child's trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Yes — parent involvement is a core part of our approach. Your child's therapist will provide regular check-ins, progress updates, and strategies you can use at home.

For younger children, parents are often part of sessions directly. For older kids, your therapist will guide you on the right level of involvement.

Every child is different. Some children see meaningful progress in 8–12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support.

Your child's therapist will set clear goals from the start and track progress so you always know where things stand.

Yes. We accept most major insurance plans and verify your coverage before your first appointment. Many families pay as little as $0–$30 per session.

If you're unsure about your coverage, our team can check your benefits in minutes.

Yes. We offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations for children, conducted by licensed specialists. Evaluations include clinical interviews, standardized assessments, and a detailed report.

If your child is already diagnosed, we also provide ongoing therapy and support for managing ADHD symptoms.

We work with children from early childhood through adolescence. Our therapists have age-specific training and tailor their approach to your child's developmental stage.

Whether your child is 5 or 15, we match them with a therapist experienced in their age group.

This is very common — and it's okay. Many children feel nervous or resistant at first. Our therapists are skilled at building trust and making sessions feel safe and even enjoyable.

We also coach parents on how to introduce therapy in a way that reduces resistance. Most kids warm up within the first few sessions.
