We’ve met children, youth, and families where they are at – both in their homes and emotionally – for over 20 years.
We are still meeting people in their homes, because we want to make our services the most comfortable, convenient, and safe for you and those you care for. Only now we're entering through the screen with telehealth instead of entering through your door. It's our way of keeping us all safe from Covid-19.
Our therapists have advanced training in attachment, trauma, and adoption. We understand that for individuals who had adverse experiences in childhood, especially in early childhood, their brains, minds, and bodies often struggle later in life to function well and they experience challenges in their social, emotional and physical health.

We understand how hard it can be to recognize that you need help for yourself or someone you love. We also know it can be really difficult getting the help once you’ve made a decision.

Contact us today, we are here to help.
