CBT is a practical, evidence-based therapy that helps children/adolescents understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected. When kids struggle with anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt, CBT teaches them how to spot unhelpful thoughts and respond to them in more balanced, supportive ways. Through guided practice, your child learns coping skills they can use in daily life, whether it’s managing worries, handling frustration, or building confidence in social situations. CBT gives kids tools to better understand themselves and take positive steps forward.

ERP is the gold-standard treatment for children and teens dealing with OCD, phobias, and certain anxiety disorders. It gently and gradually helps your child face the thoughts, situations, or fears they’ve been avoiding, without falling back on compulsions or safety behaviors. With support and encouragement, they learn that they can tolerate discomfort and that their fears don’t have to control their actions. ERP builds bravery, confidence, and long-term resilience.

ACT helps children learn how to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fight against them. Instead of getting stuck in worry or frustration, kids learn to focus on what really matters to them like friendships, family, or school goals. ACT teaches mindfulness and values-based decision-making, helping your child respond to difficult emotions in healthy ways while still moving forward in life. It's especially helpful for kids who feel overwhelmed by emotions or stuck in worry cycles.

HRT is a specialized therapy designed to help children manage habits like tics, hair-pulling, nail-biting, or skin-picking. It works by increasing awareness of when and why the behavior happens and teaching new, healthier responses that serve the same need. Children also learn how to reduce triggers and build coping strategies. HRT is empowering. It gives kids tools to gain control over habits that often feel automatic or embarrassing.

CBIT is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals with tics or Tourette Syndrome learn strategies to manage their tics more effectively. Through building awareness of when tics occur and using Habit Reversal Training (HRT), people are taught to use alternative behaviors that can interrupt or reduce the urge to tic. Over time, this can help lessen the frequency and intensity of tics and increase a child’s sense of control.
