Services
Neuropsychological Assessment
Our comprehensive neuropsychological assessments identify learning disabilities, ADHD, and developmental challenges in children as young as two years old. Using gold-standard evaluation tools, we measure cognitive, emotional, and social functioning to create targeted intervention plans. Our psychologists collaborate with schools to implement effective academic accommodations and support families through the IEP/504 process.
Child Therapy
Specialized therapy for children focuses on emotional regulation, social skills, and behavioral challenges through play-based interventions. Parents participate in initial sessions to develop home strategies while therapists build rapport with children through age-appropriate techniques. We address anxiety, developmental delays, and family transition issues with evidence-based approaches.
Perinatal Mental Health
We treat pregnancy-related anxiety, postpartum depression, and infertility-related emotional distress using specialized therapeutic techniques. Our certified Maternal Mental Health Specialists work with obstetricians and pediatricians to coordinate care while providing individualized support for new mothers and couples navigating perinatal challenges.
Adolescent Counseling
Our adolescent program addresses anxiety, depression, and identity development through evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT. We balance teen confidentiality with parental involvement, offering family sessions when appropriate. Therapists help teens navigate academic pressures, social media challenges, and the transition to young adulthood.
Young Adult Support
Specialized counseling for young adults focuses on independence development, career transitions, and relationship building. Using ACT and CBT frameworks, we help clients manage anxiety, build executive functioning skills, and establish healthy coping mechanisms while offering family coaching to support successful adult transitions.
