I specialize in working with parents of deeply feeling and thinking kids. Many of these parents describe their kids as emotionally intense with strong opinions about how things should go. These children might have a formal diagnosis (like ADHD or anxiety) or might not. I help parents learn strategies to strengthen the parent-child relationship through play and set consistent, firm, age-appropriate limits.

If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.
