Evidence-Based

Backed by clinical research and validated outcomes.

Family therapy looks at your child's problems within the family. Instead of treating just the kid, we look at how family members talk, relate, and affect each other.

Family therapists find patterns in how you talk and interact that may keep problems going. Then they help you build better patterns.

Different family therapy ways of working fit different problems. All have research to back them up.

I had a really good therapy session yesterday. I felt comfortable, heard, and supported throughout the entire session. It was a positive experience, and I appreciated having a safe space to talk openly without feeling judged. I left the session feeling better and more encouraged.

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.
