Our Approach
Our brand of behavioral health - primary care behavioral pediatrics - is quite unique. We solve everyday problems in the everyday life of strong families who want to be stronger. And often in much less time than you'd think. While individual counseling may be included, our approach features short-term, collaborative, science-based and solution-focused coaching in sustainable solutions for parents. The approach is positive, supportive, and empowering, often taking no more than 7 or 8 sessions for lasting improvement.
