psychological counseling

Support for kids and teens who are overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling to cope with big feelings.

GOT BIG FEELINGS?

Sometimes they don’t have the words for what they’re feeling.

It comes out as meltdowns, shutdowns, avoidance, or big reactions that seem to come out of nowhere.

And as a parent, it’s heartbreaking—and exhausting.

Your child isn’t “too sensitive” or “too much.”

They’re doing the best they can with a nervous system that’s overwhelmed.

Specializing in neurodivergence-affirming support for: Anxiety, Autism, ADHD, PTSD, Adjustment, Selective Mutism, etc.

WHAT WE HELP WITH

Counseling and coaching can improve:

  • Coping skills for anxiety and worry

  • School-related stress or avoidance

  • Social challenges and friendship skills

  • Low self-esteem or negative self-talk

  • Trauma-informed and restorative practices

  • Skill training and Solution-Focused Intervention

Always tailored to your child’s unique brain and personality.
