The practice specializes in providing evidence-based treatments tailored to meet the needs of children, teens, and their families facing a diverse range of challenges, including anxiety, behavioral issues, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), PANS/PANDAS, selective mutism, and trauma. Each family is viewed as unique, allowing Katherine and her team to identify the most effective therapeutic strategies for their individual circumstances. They foster a supportive environment, engaging collaboratively to achieve treatment goals. Parents play an integral role in the therapeutic process, with Katherine being a certified Level 1 trainer in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), training several therapists in this effective live coaching approach for children ages 2-7 exhibiting problem behaviors.
