From puppets and play to games and growth — we meet each young person exactly where they are.
Welcome, parents and caregivers.
Seeking professional support for your family is a meaningful decision, and we honor the care and thoughtfulness that bring you here. Your young person will be met with warmth, clinical skill, and deep respect for their stage of development.
When a teenager reaches adulthood, they can continue independent clinical care with a therapist who already knows their story.
How We Approach Therapy
A developmentally-informed, relationship-centered framework
Developmentally-Informed
Every stage of development calls for a different approach. We meet each young person at their level, using play-based strategies with our youngest clients, creative and experiential methods mid-range, and a more collaborative therapeutic relationship as maturity develops.
Attachment & Relationship-Centered
Healing happens in safe relationships. Our therapists take the time to build genuine trust with each client, because we know that the therapeutic relationship itself is the most powerful tool we have. Dr. Darleen specializes in attachment-informed care, which shapes every aspect of how we support young people navigating life’s challenges.
Brain-Based & Informed
“Behavior” is often a window into how the brain and nervous system are responding to stress or developmental demands. Rather than simply managing symptoms, we work to understand the underlying causes and teach the skills that help young people regulate, connect, and thrive.
Family-Involved
Parents and caregivers are partners in the healing process. We keep you informed, coach you through challenges, and support the whole family system. Growth happens within the loving relationships that surround each young person.
