About Us
We are a Modern and Dynamic Team of Therapists supporting family healing and evolution.
Our Story
We saw a gap in the levels of care for youth and knew we could help.
We began working with teens and young adults to support them in a new way – out of an office and in everyday life. We use activity based support because we know youth engage with therapy more authentically this way. As we evolved, we added parent coaching and family therapy to include the whole family system because we know no one lives in a bubble. Your Wonder team functions as an extension of your family system as we support your family to find long lasting, sustainable change.

Confident Living Opens
Dave Herz started A Confident Living Company to support teens and young adults in the real world. “We show up!” was the ethos, meaning clients reached out anytime for support and Dave would be there. Life happens outside of therapy and that’s where Dave jumped in! As our team has expanded, “We show up!” continues to be our mantra and inspiration.

Willow Joins The Team
Willow Rubin teamed up with Dave in supporting clients and brought a wealth of clinical experience in working with families in community based settings. This experience combined with Dave’s real world approach began to define how we work with youth and families. Real world + Youth and Parent Coaching + Family Therapy!

Transition & Aftercare
Dave and Willow saw a gap in the support available to youth coming home from wilderness and residential programs and knew they could help. Our approach of working with youth and parents at home and in real life was a natural fit! We developed a program specifically to help kids transition home to continue their work in conjunction with parents, and in their home community. We showed up in real life to help families heal, evolve, and integrate the clinical work into everyday life . We also expanded to multiple cities throughout the US! We continue to have trusted long term relationships with educational consultants, and wilderness and residential programs nationwide.

Wonder is Launched!
Team Wonder began with the goal to expand our programs to support families at any point in their journey. This means we can support families before, during, and after higher levels of care. We use our unique approach of coaching and therapy to help youth and parents in their home community, in everyday life. “We show up” during sessions and throughout the week to provide support when clients need us. We support families in 7 cities with locally based clinical teams. We also have developed a national team to support clients outside our home base regions.
Our Difference
Modern + Dynamic Approach = Family System Healing and Evolution
Team Wonder’s expertise lies in helping families work through a large range of behavioral and emotional challenges that have impacted families’ abilities to find safe and healthy connections with each other. We offer a modern and dynamic approach combining individual and parent coaching combined with family therapy that is customized to your family’s needs.
