With Connection: A Therapy office for the whole family
Is your child struggling in ways you never expected? Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or alone in your parenting journey? We are here to help. We offer in person child and family therapy in our office in NE Portland. We offer telehealth therapy for parents throughout Oregon.
We understand how tough it can feel when your parenting experience feels different. We understand what it feels like when your child needs more support than you can offer, we are here to walk alongside your whole family.
Maybe your child is neurodivergent and struggling to find their voice within our neurotypical world; maybe your child experienced early trauma; maybe your child spent time in foster care or is adopted; maybe your child was exposed to drugs in-utero; maybe you are a new parent wanting to figure out who you are in this new role; or maybe you are a teacher working with children and families experiencing each of these things. Whatever the reason, we are glad you are here.
““Katie and Helene are truly two of my greatest teachers in the world of early parenting.””
