Play-based, child led, and accessible therapy for children and teens in NJ
Children and Teens require therapists who are able to tailor treatment in a way that feels accessible, not intimidating and even fun!
Our therapists incorporate a wide variety of techniques ranging from play therapy to the utilization of art, music, and evidence based modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to help your child or teen.
We serve children 6 years-old and up but will work with parents of younger children to address needs their children may have.
The age of consent for individual therapy with parental consent in NJ is 14. If your teen is aged 14+, their consent is also required for treatment. Teens at least 16 years of age are not required to obtain parental consent for mental health treatment in NJ.
