Why families come to us
Most families reach out after trying other things first. Parenting books, advice from friends, talk therapy that never quite moved the needle.
When a child is struggling with focus, behavior, worry, or unexplained gaps at school, it does not stay contained to the child. It reshapes the whole household.
You should not have to guess your way through it.
We offer a roadmap for a better life for your child and family.
We work with children, teens, and young adults on a defined set of problems, using the treatments built and tested for them.
Every case starts with an evaluation, so the plan fits the problem rather than a general impression of it.

We are an out-of-network practice, and we do the insurance work for you. Before you schedule, our intake coordinator checks your out-of-network benefits for free and tells you what your plan is likely to pay. After each session, we [submit your claim on your behalf through Reimbursify], so reimbursement arrives without extra paperwork on your end. HSA and FSA funds also cover every session. See our Fees and Insurance page for the full picture.

Therapy sessions range from $205 to $350 depending on the clinician, and evaluations are priced by scope. For many families with PPO plans, the real cost is lower once reimbursement and pretax dollars are counted. For example, a family whose plan reimburses $140 per session would pay about $65 per session with a $205 clinician once their deductible is met.
Our intake coordinator can run these numbers for your plan in your free consultation call. Our Fees and Insurance page explains reimbursement, pretax accounts, and why starting with a specialist matters.
-
You will not wait months to start. Many families come to us after sitting on waitlists elsewhere. Most new therapy clients begin within a week, and most evaluations begin within 2 weeks, because problems like school refusal and falling grades tend to grow while families wait.
