At Blossom Whole Family Therapy & Child Psychology Center, we offer compassionate, developmentally informed care for children, teens, and families. Our team includes licensed psychologists and therapists who create a warm, engaging environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and build confidence. Whether a child is struggling with big emotions, a teen feels overwhelmed or withdrawn, or a parent is seeking better connection at home, we help families navigate life’s difficulties with clarity and support.
We use evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and ART, and often incorporate play, creativity, and mindfulness. Sessions are tailored to each client’s needs—some may look like problem-solving and learning coping tools, while others focus on expression, reflection, or building emotional insight. We believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative, respectful, and hopeful.
Clients benefit from reduced anxiety, improved emotional regulation, better communication, and a stronger sense of self. We’re here to walk alongside you or your child—helping you grow through what you're going through.
