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.

After only one session my daughter had lots of great things to say about Ky ! This is after she was so hesitant and upset not wanting to talk to her and she warmed up easily. Ky is great with kids and taps in just enough to get them to start to open up. Were pleased and looking forward to a great relationship!

Dr. Apree was amazing at sharing my son diagnosis and recommendations for his assessment. She made me feel strong as a mother and also made my son feel proud of who he is. I am really thankful for her assessment and approach with us.

Being new to this process we think Morgan did a great job of introducing us, outlining several strategies she felt would improve our daughter’s situation, and perhaps most importantly, had chemistry with our daughter.

I like that she listens to my son. She also gives him things to think about in regard to his actions and how he feels about consequences of his actions. She really does give him opportunity to think it through and understand how he could have handled things.

Good tempo and pace so far. AJ had some good probing questions for both Nadia and myself that made the session feel worthwhile. It was our first therapy session so there was some healthy amount of awkwardness but it felt needed and productive.

Elise is the sweetest. My daughter is new to online therapy so she is a bit hesitant at times. Elise is patient with her and moves at my daughters pace. I enjoy her talks as well and have learned several positive ways to help my daughter when she is struggling with big emotions.

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.
