Our Approach to Behavioral and Emotional Support

Our dedicated team of specialists offers comprehensive, individualized care to help your child navigate their emotional world and develop healthy coping strategies. We focus on understanding the root cause of behaviors, not just addressing the symptoms. Together, we’ll create a supportive plan that empowers your child to thrive at home, at school, and in the community.

Our key services include:

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy: We use structured, evidence-based teaching methods that break down complex skills into small, achievable steps. This approach helps decrease challenging behaviors and increase socially significant ones, building a foundation for success.
Family Therapy & Parent Coaching: We believe in treating the whole family. Our specialists partner with you to provide strategies and support, helping you strengthen relationships and create a positive, consistent environment at home.
Social Work & Counseling: Our licensed clinicians provide a safe space for your child to explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and build emotional resilience.
Diagnostic Testing & Assessment: A thorough evaluation is the first step toward understanding your child’s unique needs. Our comprehensive assessments provide clarity and guide the creation of a truly personalized therapeutic plan.
School Support Services: We collaborate with your child’s school to ensure behavioral strategies are consistent across all environments, creating a seamless support system for your child’s success.

Frequently Asked Questions About Counseling for Kids:

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

While you don’t always need a referral to contact us, many insurance plans require one for coverage. We can help guide you through this process.

Where does therapy take place?

Flexibility is our foundation. We offer sessions in our West Loop clinic, in your home, at your child’s school or daycare, or via telehealth. We work with you to decide the best environment for your child’s goals.

How do I know if my child needs counseling?

If your child is not meeting milestones (like babbling, using first words, or combining words), is difficult for others to understand, or gets frustrated when trying to communicate, an evaluation is a great first step.

Trust your instincts—you know your child best.
