Schedule Appointment

We want to recognize early, intervene competently, actively monitor progress towards goals, and refer appropriately.

“You’re not here because you’re sick or broken or in trouble. You’re here because the people that love you want you to be the best version of yourself possible. They want you to have every tool in your toolbox. Sometimes, we use words that may feel big and scary, so that we know what tools we need. These are just explanations of the way your beautiful brain works. We have to name our job, so we know the right tool. I wouldn’t use a hammer to flip pancakes, and in the same way we have to assess what is going on, so we can strategize the best solutions. We have to name our job, but these words don’t define you.”

Helping Kids with Big Emotions, Anxiety, and Social Challenges: When to Seek Support

Does your child have BIG feelings? So big that they have a hard time going throughout the day without several meltdowns?

Do you feel as though your child is intelligent, though really struggles with task completion and/or comprehending what they’re learning?

Does your adolescent have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep?

Is it hard to watch them struggle with anxiety and worry that does not seem to fit the situation?

Does your loved one struggle to fit in with peers, so much so that they are isolating themselves and refusing to engage socially?

Is it hard to know whether or not what they are experiencing is because of their age or context, or something that needs professional expertise?

Does it seem like your adolescent is spending so much time on their phone or ipad or computer because they struggle to communicate in typical social situations?
