We're not just here for the young adventurers—we're here for their trusty sidekicks too – you! In sessions that are rooted in compassion and understanding, we aim to empower you with the knowledge and resources to support your child on their developmental journey.
Parenting is an ever-evolving pursuit. Our parent coaching sessions offer support to parents who are managing their children’s behavioral concerns. Whether through a one-on-one dynamic where you can learn actionable strategies for everyday scenarios or a self-paced workshop. We're your partners in navigating both the challenges – and rewards – of parenthood.
Looking for some help navigating the uncertainty of developmental delays? We’ve got you covered! We offer comprehensive psychological testing to expertly evaluate and diagnose children and teens dealing with hurdles like Autism, ADHD, Learning Disorders and other developmental delays.
As a parent, you understand the importance of equipping your child with the right tools for their unique journey, and psychological testing can be that crucial first step. Our practice specializes in identifying disorders that might be affecting your child's cognitive, academic, or behavioral development, such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Learning Disorders. Through a series of tailored tests, we unearth your child's hidden strengths, illuminate areas of opportunity and most importantly, offer strategic insights that guide the way to a well-suited intervention plan.
