Parenting can be a challenging job, and we understand the importance of supporting parents in their journey. We work respectfully with parents to build their parenting toolbox, increase confidence, and develop strong family connections. Additionally, we also work with adults to address parenting concerns or manage their own personal issues.

Therapy for children at Thriving Children & Families involves expressing emotions and developing new skills through Play Therapy. For adolescents and adults, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments tailored to meet individual needs.
