Our Treatment Services:

Our treatment approach includes behavioral interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and developmental perspectives. We also train parents in problem-solving strategies and educate them in child development and childhood disorders. Clinicians provide treatment that is tailored to the needs of your child and family.

In addition to working directly with families, we also collaborate with schools, daycare centers, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and state agencies to ensure that our patients have access to all of the services they need.
