• Individual therapy starts with the client. We meet clients where they are and work towards resolving personal challenges and achieving individual goals.

  • Family therapy is a great way to address any ongoing relational issues within the family unit, resolve conflicts, and improve communication at home.

  • Parenting complex or neurodivergent children and teens can be overwhelming and isolating. There’s no manual for your unique child—but we can create one together. Through parent coaching and family therapy, we’ll explore strategies that are tailored to your child’s needs, restore connection and trust, and help your entire family feel more supported.

  • For children and teens who are in therapy with us, we offer school consultation; where we work with classroom teams, school support staff, and administrators to best meet the student’s needs. We also attend IEP, 504, and other school meetings to advocate on behalf of clients.

  • If you are interested in joining a therapy group, reach out and we can discuss group offerings.

Neurodivergence

“Neurodivergent” refers to individuals whose brains process the world differently than what society often deems "typical." Neurodivergence does not need to be cured—but the world is not always built to support neurodivergent minds. Our approach focuses on helping the individual understand their unique strengths and challenges, build strategies for navigating a neurotypical-centered world, and learn how to advocate for their needs with confidence and clarity. We support all clients in finding neuro-affirming spaces and embracing their neurodivergence throughout their lives. 

Twice-Exceptionality (2e)

Twice-exceptional (2e) individuals are both gifted and neurodivergent. This population is often misunderstood or overlooked. Since 2016, we’ve supported 2e children and adolescents across New York in many different settings. We are excited to apply what we’ve learned to individual therapy!

Nervous System Regulation

Regulating the nervous system is foundational for emotional well-being. Many people become easily stuck in states of threat, such as fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—making it difficult to think clearly, manage emotions, or feel safe in one’s body and environment. We use body-based techniques, co-regulation strategies, psychoeducation, and mindfulness tools to help individuals recognize what’s happening in their bodies, develop regulation skills, and return to feeling both safe and connected.

Nervous system regulation is often the missing link in effectively addressing behavior, anxiety, emotional reactivity, and self-esteem.

Social-Emotional Skill Building

We help and teach clients to build emotional awareness, perspective-taking, flexible thinking, interoceptive awareness, problem solving, and communication skills. Our goal is to help clients navigate the social environment successfully while remaining authentic to who they are to meet their social goals.

LGBTQ+ & Queer Youth

We support children and adolescents as they explore their identities in an affirming setting. In addition to supporting youth directly, we work closely with parents and caregivers—helping families learn, adapt, and affirm their child. Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where children can thrive.

Anxiety & OCD

Anxiety is one of the most common challenges children and teens face today, often showing up as worry, avoidance, perfectionism, procrastination, and/or physical symptoms. In therapy, we use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), and SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) to help our clients reduce their suffering.

Behavioral Supports & Interventions

When it comes to behavior, we begin with one belief: children do well if they can. Rather than punishing behaviors, we focus on understanding underlying causes, unmet needs, and underdeveloped skills. By combining collaborative problem-solving with motivational strategies, we help families reduce conflict, increase cooperation, and support lasting behavioral change in compassionate, effective ways.
