Play therapy allows children (ages 2-12) the opportunity to explore their world and to express themselves freely, in a safe environment, which encourages the use of imagination and an understanding & supportive "other" to develop solutions and work through developmental, behavioral, or academic difficulties.

DIR Floortime® is geared towards children impacted by ASD and is an alternative therapy to ABA. This modality emphasizes their developmental processes, emotional capacities and regulative abilities. DIR is highly relational in order to improve communication as well as grow and nurture social and inter-personal skill-sets.
Our Clients
Like yourself, our clients are unique. Each one having their own personal strengths, intricacies, dreams, personalities, and past. Our clients are everyone, from intern to executive, teacher to student, father to son. Our client is you.
Similarly to the importance of exercise and proper nutrition for health and well-being, our clients acknowledge that their mental and emotional well-being is just as critical to living their best lives. In time, our clients develop trust in the depths of their selves, courage and confidence to encounter long avoided fears that lead to unburdening, new perspective and self-understanding that is freed by old destructive thought patterns, and the emotional development required to have more fulfilling relationships with others as well as with oneself.
Those who choose to work with us not only gain an ally by their side, or even strategies to alleviate suffering, but a relationship that can be life changing. We find that quite often as our clients begin to feel more like who they "should" be, it only fuels their drive to keep going and to stretch themselves beyond the mental confines of who they thought they were or expected they could be.
