About
Sprouting Branch

Your child is more precious to you than anything.

Parenting is possibly the most important and demanding job you can have. It is relentless, with 24-hour shifts, seven days a week.

Sure, the kids go off to daycare, school, or other activities. But the responsibility is always there.

If something goes wrong or someone else is worried about them, you are the one that gets a call.

All this is tougher because you care so much.

This is a lot to carry when your child is struggling.

Other people may have offered their opinions (invited or not) about what would help. You and your spouse or co-parent probably have some different ideas about the best way forward.

Even in the best of circumstances, it’s lonely and confusing.

You’re the one in the best position to seek positive change for your child.

This is not just another of so many decisions you make each day. The stakes are high.

And you would not trade this relentless job for anything.

With it comes the closeness of shared experiences, the joy of mutual victories, and the feeling of being a family.

We get it.

We have deep respect for families and the potential for growth and change in children, teens, and parents.

Therapy with us . . .

Therapy with us can look a lot of different ways.

We meet with whole families, parent-child pairs, teens alone, or children alone.

We use words, art, play, humor, and more. Some of the official names of what we do are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), family therapy, and attachment-based therapy.

But all of it has to do with us getting to know your family and your needs and finding a way to make things better.
