let’s work together
Services
Assessment
At times, it can difficult to know why an individual is struggling at school, socially, or at home. We provide a range of testing and assessment services for children, teens, and young adults that help shed light on how the brain shapes behavior. Through this process, we can identify underlying diagnoses (such as ADHD or learning disabilities) and make personalized recommendations to help individuals thrive.
Individual Therapy
The therapeutic process has to fit the pace and context of modern life — for individuals of all ages. We believe that psychotherapy can both be efficient (lasting weeks or months, not years) and have lifelong results. To achieve this, we use evidenced-based approaches to support children, teens, and adults who are experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties.
Parenting and Family
We know firsthand that being a parent is difficult. Friends and neighbors are helpful, and there are lots of good books and websites out there, but sometimes you just need more. Consultation sessions are an efficient way to obtain information and tangible solutions for a wide range of parenting and child development issues, all backed by science.
Groups
Dr. Allen started leading children’s therapy groups in 2012 because kids are often more responsive to their peers than to adults. Today, B.Well has evolved into an engaging group program for 4th through 7th graders that can help participants manage stress and navigate life’s many challenges by using research-backed tools including yoga, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral practices.
Our GOAL IS TO EMPOWER CLIENTS WITH Research-backed TOOLS THAT IMPROVE EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL WELLBEING.
