Parent Support
Parent support is a core part of the process. We don’t just work with your child—we partner with you.
Parents receive guidance, tools, and ongoing support so you feel more confident responding to your child’s needs at home.

At our Aurora location, we’ve thoughtfully created a space not just for children, but for parents too. While our therapy rooms are designed to meet kids where they are, we also offer a comfortable, welcoming environment for adults. You’re invited to grab a cup of Nespresso, settle into one of our “parent rooms”, and take a deep breath while looking out the picture window to the trees below.
We also recognize that children are deeply impacted by the relationships around them. For families who are interested, we offer couples counseling in our Aurora office, supporting parents in strengthening communication, connection, and overall family dynamics.
Supporting your child starts with supporting you—and we’re here for that, too.
