Any family facing a transition or period of adjustment that triggers changes within the family unit; any family who may have recently been given a diagnosis or is in the assessment phase, whether it be a health, mental health and/or educational issue.

We have a unique family-centric approach. We take into account that major life transitions affect individual family members and the family’s dynamics as a whole. Using this approach, we guide our families through challenging crossroads to make the most well-informed and thoughtful decisions.

We are trained professionals who are also parents. This combination brings with it a unique and valuable perspective to our interventions, both supportive, therapeutic and practical. We truly understand the complex challenges our families are faced with. As a result, we structure our practice in an accessible and extremely supportive manner, both family-focused and directed towards solutions.

We assess each individual situation and refer to a broad range of institutions and experts. We are unbiased and have knowledge of different and varied specialists.

Every situation is unique. We spend as much time as we feel will be beneficial to the family. Some families see us for one or two sessions, others may engage us for ongoing support while other families may check in with us periodically, depending on what issues arise and the amount of support they feel they need. As an example, developmental changes or periods of transition such as changing schools, a separation or family loss may warrant extra support.

Our consultations are not covered by insurance. We do not diagnose, therefore we are unable to give a diagnosis code, which is required for insurance reimbursement. The referrals we make may be covered by insurance.

We feel in certain situations, it can be helpful to see the child in their real world environment. If it will help the child and family, we will suggest and offer this service.

We will help our families work with the Board of Education as part of the navigation role we provide. We are knowledgeable with the IEP process and provide guidance and expert advice.

We are flexible and make every effort to accommodate our families’ schedules, which we understand can be demanding. We also Skype and do phone consultations.

We support the entire family and welcome the opportunity to work with as many members as warranted by the presenting problem. Whether we see an individual, a couple or several members of the family, including children, our end goal is to minimize stress and anxiety for the entire family, while embracing practical progress.
