Your child is struggling to find their place in the world, and you would do anything to help.
You worry that your child is being bullied, acting out at school, losing friends, and losing their sense of self-worth. You long for them to feel confident, have good friends, and succeed in life, but you dread knowing that these things aren’t yet a reality. In your heart, you know that something has to change since your child’s well-being is too important to overlook.
You wonder if you’ll ever have your child back again, the one who was happy, content, and well-behaved.
You know they need help to better express themselves, control oppositional behaviors, and cope with the symptoms of anxiety and depression. And you also know they need tools for impulse control, emotional regulation, and social interactions. But you worry that your own parenting is just not enough to help them through.
Lately, you doubt that your family is ever going to go in the right direction.

How Much Do Sessions With Our Child Pyschologists and Therapists Cost?

Interested in Online Child Therapy?
Although we like seeing our younger patients in person, we have adapted to the current climate of holding online child therapy sessions. We know what you’re thinking, how can we get anything done over video chat with a child? In online child therapy, we make it our mission to empower both you and your child. Our therapists are highly experienced and ready to take on therapy sessions from a distance.
In fact, children often enjoy being able to share their space, play area, and toys with our therapists! Our therapists can interact with your child in their natural setting to observe symptoms and behaviors. You don’t need to worry about loading the kids in the car or having to arrange childcare for a session. No need to feel rushed due to constricting time schedules – we are flexible and meet you in the middle.
You can expect us to involve the whole family in child therapy. We are dedicated to the belief that working together as a family is very important. Our child therapy involves not only parenting and family tips, but we focus on your child, and creative ways for us to work with kids and keep their attention on us.
