In addition to comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations, the practice offers individual therapy for children and adolescents and short-term consultation for parents and schools. Both services are led personally by Dr. Bird and grounded in the same strengths-based, naturalistic approach as the rest of the practice.
Child & Adolescent Therapy
Support your child’s emotional growth with care and clarity.
Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for your child or teen to explore emotions, build coping skills, and feel more confident in themselves. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and evidence-based, drawing from CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed practices tailored to your child’s age and developmental stage.
We help with:
-
Anxiety, perfectionism, and self-esteem
-
Emotional regulation and behavior struggles
-
Friendship issues and social stress
-
Academic burnout or avoidance
-
Life changes, loss, or identity development
Parent & School Consultation
Collaborative support that bridges home, therapy, and school.
Sometimes the best support comes from strengthening the systems around a child. We offer short-term consultation to parents, caregivers, and school teams to create aligned, sustainable strategies that help kids thrive.
This service is ideal for:
-
Navigating school supports (IEPs, 504s, SSTs)
-
Advocating for accommodations
-
Developing behavior plans or emotional safety plans
-
Supporting school reentry after a mental health crisis
-
Understanding your child’s assessment results in context
-
Developing and restructuring school policies and procedures for student support (Referrals, Discipline, etc)
