We are here to support your child and you as parents! Please reach out, you are welcome, just as you are.
Accepting new patients! Over the past 5 years, our children have experienced years of toxic stress; the COVID pandemic, virtual school, racial and community violence and unrest, and political volatility. As a KUSD educator, I saw how these events have impacted our kids. Kids are stressed, anxious, depressed, less hopeful about the future, having difficulty making friends, behaviorally acting out or isolating, and often emotionally immature and unsure of themselves.
