Ways We Can Support You
Our therapists provide developmentally responsive, relationship-based support for children, teens, caregivers, and adults. Explore our therapy options to find the support that best fits you or your family.
Child-Centered Play Therapy
For children ages 3–12 experiencing anxiety, big emotions, behavioral challenges, trauma, grief, family changes, school difficulties, or other challenging experiences.
Play gives children a developmentally appropriate way to express themselves, process experiences, and grow within a safe therapeutic relationship.
Parent Consultation
Focused support for caregivers who want help understanding their child’s behavior, responding to anxiety or emotional dysregulation, navigating transitions, setting limits, or strengthening connection.
Parent consultation can be provided with or without a child participating in therapy.
Therapy for Teens
A supportive, nonjudgmental space for teens navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, self-esteem, relationships, identity, or difficult life transitions.
Therapy may incorporate talk therapy, sand tray, parts work, or EMDR depending on the teen’s needs.
Adult Therapy & EMDR
Individual therapy for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, difficult experiences, or patterns that continue to affect their lives and relationships.
We offer support for mothers and caregivers who want to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful change.
Please note: EMDR services are provided by Holly Dudley, an EMDR-trained Resident in Counseling who is currently pursuing EMDR certification and practices under clinical supervision.
