Who We Are

The Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Center provides psychotherapy, psychological assessment, school observation, and parent coaching services to families with children, teens, and young adults aged 0–26.

​

We're proud to say we’re not like most psychologists or therapists:

  • We don’t offer to fix your problems. We teach you the skills you need to find success.

  • We don’t do a lot of individual therapy with children, especially younger children. We work with families, because we know your children need you more than they will ever need us.

  • We don’t do a lot of long-term therapy. Most of our clients are done in ten sessions or fewer.

  • We don’t work from a “mental illness” model. We do provide diagnoses, but “mental illness” isn't a useful way to think about problems in living. Your child is not sick or broken.

​

Take a look around our website and learn more about us and about what we do. Find our handy resources. Take a look at the services we offer and decide which is best for you and your family.

​

And—when you’re ready—give us a call. We’re here to help.
