Who We Help

Young children aged 2-9, including those with typical development or mild delays (speech, language, cognitive), and those experiencing anxiety and/or behavior concerns (no diagnosis needed). Therapy focuses on reducing disruptive behaviors and improving emotional regulation for children with diagnoses like ADHD, ODD, SM, OCD, GAD, Social Anxiety, or Separation Anxiety. Early intervention is crucial for long-term success, and it's never too early to start services!

Selective Mutism

Selective Mutism is an anxiety disorder in which individuals are unable to speak in particular settings, or with particular individuals, despite being able to speak in other settings. Children with this disorder often find it extremely difficult to speak outside of the home, with school being one of the most challenging settings. Because these children often speak in the home, difficulties are generally not suspected until a child is enrolled in a learning program (e.g. daycare, school).

Anxiety

Children experiencing anxiety may hesitate to explore new opportunities, worry about making errors, feel uneasy in social settings, struggle to join in activities, have trouble sleeping alone, find it hard to separate from their caregivers, and feel persistently evaluated by others. This anxiety can make it significantly difficult for kids to participate in everyday age-appropriate tasks and activities, as they are overwhelmed by emotions that are challenging for them to manage.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Kids diagnosed with ADHD often struggle with following directions, emotional regulation, social skills, attention, organization, distractibility, and/or impulsivity. Behaviors occur in multiple settings and can have a negative impact on learning and social relationships.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Kids diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder often have recurring intrusive thoughts that lead to rituals/routines/behaviors that are time-consuming and interfere with their daily life.
