(In-Person & Telehealth in Maryland)

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and even when you’re doing your best, it can still feel overwhelming.

You may be trying hard not to repeat patterns from your own upbringing, while also feeling unsure how to best support your child. Just when you start to feel grounded in one stage, everything shifts again.

If you’re feeling frustrated, disconnected, or unsure what to do next… you’re not alone. The fact that you’re here speaks to how much you care.

We’re here to support both you and your child.

You might be noticing that your child or teen is…

Frequently arguing or stuck in power struggles
Feeling anxious, worried, or overwhelmed
Struggling in school or having difficulty staying engaged
Withdrawing from friends, family, or activities they once enjoyed
Appearing irritable, sensitive, or easily tearful
Navigating changes in the family (divorce, new siblings, loss)
Processing adoption-related experiences (identity, grief, relationships)
Impacted by a traumatic event
Showing changes in behavior after illness (see PANS/PANDAS page)

Parenting is hard. Being a kid is hard too; we support both.

🌿 How we help

We create a safe, supportive space where children and teens can express themselves, build coping skills, and feel understood.

At the same time, we support parents in strengthening connection, communication, and confidence in their role.

You will never be judged or blamed—we work collaboratively with you to support your child’s growth and your family’s well-being.

Parent involvement

Parent involvement is an essential part of the process.

Sessions often begin with a brief parent check-in
Your therapist will collaborate with you on goals and progress
Your child’s privacy will be respected, while keeping you informed of important themes and safety concerns

We ask parents to come in with openness—this helps everyone get the most out of the process.

Our approach

Our clinicians use developmentally appropriate, evidence-based approaches tailored to each child, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Play therapy (directive and non-directive)

Trauma-informed care

Attachment-based approaches

Skill-building for emotional regulation and communication

For younger children, play is their language. Through creative techniques like games, storytelling, and role-play, children are able to process experiences and learn new ways to cope.
