How We Help
Thoughtful care. Practical support. A clear path forward.
Each service below starts with an Initial Diagnostic Evaluation. This 60-minute session is used to gather important information about your child’s concerns, history, current challenges, and goals for treatment. It may also include reviewing paperwork, discussing confidentiality, and identifying the best path forward. The goal is to develop a clear understanding of your child’s needs and begin building an appropriate treatment plan.
Individual Therapy for Kids & Teens
Individual therapy provides direct support for children and teens navigating anxiety, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors, fear-based ARFID, perfectionism, phobias, and related challenges. Sessions are tailored to the child’s age, developmental stage, and treatment goals, with a focus on helping them build confidence, coping tools, and greater independence over time.
Individual Therapy for Adults
Individual therapy for adults provides support for parents and adults navigating stress, burnout, anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, overthinking, and the emotional demands of family life. These sessions offer a supportive space to better understand what you are experiencing, build practical coping tools, and feel more grounded day to day. This service is different from parent consultation focused on a child’s treatment. Individual therapy for adults is centered on the adult’s own mental health, wellbeing, and need for support.
Parent Sessions
Parent consultations are parent-only clinical sessions focused on supporting a child’s treatment. These sessions may be brief or ongoing depending on the family’s needs and can help parents better understand what is happening, respond more effectively, and reinforce progress outside of therapy.
Group Sessions
Group sessions may be offered as an additional support option depending on clinical fit and availability. Therapeutic groups can provide children and teens with guided opportunities to build skills, practice confidence, and connect with others in a supportive environment.

SPACE
Parent-Based Support
When a child is struggling with anxiety or OCD, parents are often carrying a great deal too. SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a parent-based approach that helps caregivers understand what is happening and respond in ways that support long-term growth and confidence.
Unlike traditional therapy models, SPACE works by guiding parents to make meaningful changes at home—reducing patterns that unintentionally reinforce anxiety and building new patterns that support independence.
What makes SPACE different?
- Parent-focused and practical
- No child sessions required
- Reduces accommodation and reassurance cycles
- Builds lasting confidence at home
SPACE Treatment
A structured, evidence-based approach that helps parents respond to anxiety in a supportive way without reinforcing it. Over time, this reduces anxiety patterns and helps children build confidence through real-life experiences—not avoidance.
What Parents Will Learn
- How to respond without reinforcing anxiety
- How to reduce accommodation step-by-step
- How to handle difficult moments with confidence
- How to support progress outside of sessions
Adult Therapy
Support for adults who are carrying too much
Parents often seek support for their child first, while quietly managing their own stress, worry, exhaustion, or emotional overwhelm in the background. Adult therapy at KidWise Counseling gives parents and adults a supportive space to focus on their own mental health, especially when parenting, family life, anxiety, OCD, or burnout have started to feel heavier than usual.
These sessions are designed to help adults better understand what they are experiencing, build practical coping tools, and feel more grounded in everyday life.
Adult therapy may support:
Stress & Burnout
For parents who feel emotionally drained, constantly “on,” stretched thin, or unsure how to keep showing up in the way they want to.
Anxiety & Overthinking
For adults navigating worry, uncertainty, reassurance-seeking, decision fatigue, or the constant mental load that can come with parenting and family life.
OCD & Intrusive Thoughts
For adults experiencing OCD patterns, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance cycles, or distressing fears that feel difficult to manage alone.
