For My Child & Family

Our outpatient clinical services provide accessible, affordable, and quality therapeutic support for children and families.

We specialize in play therapy, family therapy, trauma-informed care and services for autistic individuals and neurodivergent children. We use expressive therapy approaches like music, movement, art and play to help kids and families express themselves and support connecting and healing.

We are a self-pay clinic where fees are set on a sliding scale schedule. We support out-of-network reimbursement efforts.

Who We Work With

We accept referrals for families with children from pregnancy or expectancy through age 12.

Our services are designed to meet families where they are and grow with them over time.

How We Work

We follow a developmental and relational perspective that believes that children grow and learn through their relationships with the important adults in their lives.

We use play, movement, art, and other expressive modalities that can help children and adults process feelings and create connections with one another.

Where We Work

We provide in-person services at our clinic in Little Falls on the campus of Montclair State University or through telehealth platforms.

CREDO

This is a place...

      • Where all belong and are welcome,
      • Where who YOU are matters,
      • Where your individual differences ARE important,
      • Where we will be interested, respectful and caring,
      • Where your conflicts and struggles can be shared in safety,
      • Where autism, and mental health concerns, and developmental concerns, and learning difficulties, and emotional concerns, and “behavioral” concerns are not seen as separate from each other,
      • Where we honor and promote your potential,
      • Where fun, joy and humor can live,
      • Where we celebrate human development,
      • In family and community,
      • With dignity and peace.
