Thoughtful, holistic assessment.
Practical support.

We provide integrated psychological assessment and therapy for children, adolescents, and families. Our collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming approach helps translate evaluation findings into practical supports that build executive functioning, emotional regulation, and confidence - so children can thrive at home, at school, and in their growing sense of self.
