Who We Are
We are a group of mental health clinicians who work with children and adolescents.
Our passion is helping children and teenagers to reach their full potential with respect to learning, building healthy relationships, and enjoying good mental health. We value parents as partners and work with them to feel empowered in engaging in meaningful relationships with their children.
We do this by connecting, collaborating, and focusing on strengths to build WISE children, adolescents, and parents.
