Hi, I’m Kelly!
Parents, we’re on your team
Parenting can be incredibly tough — especially when your child is struggling and you’re not sure how to help. Our child and teen therapy experts work with you to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and support your family in moving toward more connection, confidence, and ease — so everyone can feel like themselves again.
Step 1. We connect with you
You know your child best! That’s why we start with a dedicated parent intake session. We’ll explore your child’s history, your family dynamics, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and your parenting journey so far. This helps us truly understand your child — and sets you up to feel more supported, sturdy, and regulated.
The Modern Youth Approach
We treat kids & teens with anxiety, depression, sensory and eating challenges, trauma and transition, and an array of behavioral issues. But before we address the symptoms, we get to know the individual .
Step 2. We connect with your child
Next, we meet with your child or teen. These first sessions are all about helping them feel safe and comfortable — and learning how they see and experience the world. During this time, we also conduct developmentally appropriate assessments to better understand their emotional, social, sensory, and behavioral needs. This helps us create a plan that’s truly tailored to them.
Step 3. We connect to the root cause
We go beyond surface behaviors to understand what’s really going on. Using a blend of modalities — like play therapy, expressive arts, animal-assisted support, and evidence-based strategies — we create an individualized plan to support growth, healing, and connection for your whole family.

Child Therapy
Our experts work closely with parents to develop a therapy plan that targets their child’s goals and needs.
We use a range of interventions such as imaginative play, mindfulness exercises, dance therapy, and sand tray play to make sure your child builds emotion regulation skills while having fun!
Adolescent Therapy
Less conflict, more connection! Our mission is to help your teen find more joy and ease in their life. Our preteen and teen therapists use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Expressive art therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support this important life stage.
Parent Therapy
Our goal is to equip your family with tools that last long after therapy ends. To support a smooth transition, we work closely with parents—sharing guidance, skills, and practical strategies to use at home. Sometimes, the most meaningful progress comes from work within the family system itself, and we may recommend parent sessions to help strengthen the foundation your child is growing from.
