We are so glad you’re here.
It’s hard being a teen and it can be even harder to know how to help them when they’re struggling. Our goal is to help them feel heard and understood in their experiences and partner with them to help become who they are wired to be.
We work with teens who are struggling with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief and loss, attachment and relationship concerns, emotional regulation challenges, self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, and adjustment issues.
Our team also specializes in providing neurodivergent-affirming care and we explore disability through the social model of disability so we can support and celebrate differences instead of "treating" or "fixing" them.
Check out the Meet the Team page to learn more about each individual therapist and the varied experiences, backgrounds, and approaches they offer.
We can’t wait to meet you.
Adolescent Therapy
Therapy can look a lot of different ways. Sometimes, teens are ready to jump into traditional talk therapy, where they can explore their thoughts and feelings, build skills, and problem solving with the support of the therapist.
Other times, it’s hard for them to find the words for their experiences. We are able to offer creative approaches to meet them where they’re at and find ways to express themselves, through things like art, music, movement, sandtray, and more.
And for teens who are navigating a lot, from both their past and present, we offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Whatever the approach, therapy is a collaborative process. Teens are included in treatment planning and goal development process so their voices are heard and honored.
Therapy for your adolescent will also include working closely with the caregivers. By including caregivers in the process, the family relationship is enhanced and strengthened. Together, families can learn helpful communication strategies to reduce conflict and misunderstandings.
“Children are capable of positive self-direction… Children are flowers to bloom, not clay to be shaped.”

The Heart of Our Work
Each of the therapists at Wired to Bloom firmly believes that all people are capable of positive growth and change. In fact, this drive towards self-organization and connection is a biological imperative in all of us - we’re all wired to bloom, hence the name! Healing is possible for all of us, even for those who have experienced the most profound challenges and difficulties.
Our therapists utilize a mix of directive and non-directive interventions to tailor treatment to the needs of your child, always keeping the relationship at the center of whatever activity.
By following the science of the brain, relationships, and growth, our therapists place a high value on the role that regulation, attentive presence, and authenticity play in fostering meaningful connection and growth.
