One clinician, several kinds of therapy
Individual therapy for adults draws on cognitive behavioral, EMDR-informed and attachment-based approaches. Couples therapy focuses on the pattern between two partners rather than on blame. Family therapy brings in whoever is part of the pattern you want to change. Children roughly ages 5 to 12 are seen in play therapy, and teens in individual therapy.
If you are not sure which fits, the free consultation call is where that gets sorted out, honestly, before you commit to anything.
In your own language
Sessions happen in English, Português or Español from start to finish, directly with Najla. There is no interpreter. Families can mix languages when parents and children are more comfortable in different ones.
