Growing Pains

Pre-teens and young adults alike have to learn to accept the challenges they face in their season of life. Our therapists are ready to encourage your children to cope with obstacles and grow comfortable with their newfound responsibilities.

Quality Care for the Developing Brain

Kiddos require special care. Our therapists are trained to work with all types of children. Providing warm, compassionate acceptance allows children to grow into the person they were made to be.
