Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults

At Cornerstone Therapy, our approach to working with children, adolescents, and young adults is rooted in empathy and non-judgment. We strive to meet clients where they are, creating a safe space where they feel truly heard and understood. Through our therapeutic process, we empower them to make healthy, informed decisions that support their personal growth.

While therapy can be serious, we believe in making sessions engaging and comfortable. Incorporating art, play, and creativity helps foster a relaxed environment, while yoga and mindfulness activities aid in reducing impulsivity and increasing emotional awareness.

Emotionally Healthy Children = Emotionally Healthy Adults

We believe that nurturing emotional health in children and adolescents leads to happier, healthier adults. Addressing emotional needs early on is essential, as research shows that brain development continues well into a person’s mid-twenties. During these formative years, the brain is incredibly adaptable, presenting a unique opportunity to lay a strong foundation for lifelong emotional well-being.

At Cornerstone Therapy, we specialize in working with individuals from age 4 through their mid-twenties. After all, modern science now recognizes that adolescence can extend until age 24, underscoring the importance of continued emotional support during these pivotal years.

Moms

We see you, Moms. You give your time, energy, and love selflessly to your family, and we are continually inspired by your patience and resilience, even in the most challenging moments. You show up for your children in remarkable ways, and now, we want to show up for you. That's why Cornerstone Therapy is now offering counseling services specifically for moms.

Parenting is an incredible journey, but we also know it comes with its share of challenges. We're here to support, listen, and help you navigate those ups and downs. Moms, you're truly amazing, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you on this path.
