When You're Not Sure Why, We Help You Find the Answer

The Child & Family Center provides compassionate, evidence-based psychological evaluations, counseling, and family support services to help children, adolescents, adults, and families thrive.

How we can help

From comprehensive evaluations to ongoing therapy, we offer a full range of services designed to meet you, your child, or your family where you are.

Assessment & Evaluation

Through comprehensive, holistic evaluations, we provide real answers, not just a label. We offer psychological, psychoeducational, autism/neurodevelopmental, and neuropsychological evaluations based upon individually tailored assessment plans.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one support for children, teens, and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges and life transitions. Our clinicians are well-trained in many evidence-based therapies, ready to meet the needs of every client.

Parent & Family Support

We believe strongly that parents and families should be included in the therapeutic process. Parent support sessions and family therapy are attachment-focused and offer tangible skills targeting coregulation strategies, reconnection, and healthy communication.

At The Child & Family Center, we believe every person — every child, every parent, every family — deserves to be genuinely understood. That's why we take the time to listen before we act, and to explain before we conclude.

Our team brings together licensed psychologists, counselors, social workers, and occupational therapists who collaborate across disciplines. Whether you're seeking answers through evaluation or healing through therapy, you'll find a team that's fully invested in your well-being.
