About us

A practice built around ages 5 to 17

A six-year-old, a fifteen-year-old and their parents need different rooms. We built one practice with all of them.

Our four clinicians each work with one age group, and meet regularly to talk about how families move between them. Whatever the age, we start by listening to the parents, and we explain how sessions work before anyone is asked to share anything.

  • A room for each age

    A playroom for younger children, a conversation room for older ones and a plain office for parents.

  • A seat for parents

    Parents meet the clinician first, and hear about progress on a schedule they agree on.

  • Privacy in plain words

    We explain what stays private and what a parent is told before the first session, and again whenever you ask.
