Tweens: Ages 9-11

Utilizing our family system and experiential approach, we support tweens (ages 9-11) in a relational way, helping them build confidence, emotional awareness, and healthy connections. Through a collaborative approach, our individual coach works alongside our parent coach to empower families, strengthening relationships while providing the structure and guidance needed as their child transitions into adolescence.

What We Do


All services are individualized for every family, but will include:

  • Individual Coaching for the Tween

  • Parent Coaching

  • Family Sessions

  • Support Outside of Scheduled Sessions (phone, text, video, etc)

  • Collaboration with Other Providers (medical providers, school professionals, prior placement, tutors, other care providers)

Who We Serve


Many of our clients in this age range experience the following:

  • School anxiety

  • Social or general anxiety

  • Peer relationships

  • Learning difficulties

  • School avoidance or refusal

  • Technology overuse or misuse

  • Low self esteem

  • Low self confidence

  • Difficult family dynamics

How We Do It


Sessions include activity-based support at the home or in the community such as:

  • Art projects

  • Playing board games

  • Walk in the neighborhood

  • With time, leaving the home to do other activities such as getting boba, going to the playground, going to play ball in the local community

When Wonder Makes Sense


  • When traditional talk therapy isn’t the right fit, has stagnated, there is lack of engagement, or needs real world application

  • When family engagement would be helpful to the process

  • When needing more intensive services

  • After intensive outpatient programming (IOP)

  • Transitioning home from out of home placements (PHP, hospitalizations, Wilderness programs, Residential Treatment programs)

“Having a therapist for my son who met with him outside and office made a HUGE difference. Also, having the family support alongside was invaluable.”
