As children and adolescents grow, they often experience a myriad of social, emotional, and mood-related challenges. We utilize a range of therapeutic approaches, including art therapy, play therapy, and traditional talk therapy, in order to assist youth with both developing insight into their challenges and learning ways of harnessing their personal strengths.

Film & TV Consultation

We work closely with screenwriters and directors to bring psychological depth and authenticity to characters and storylines. This includes helping to clarify a character’s internal motivations, shaping how psychological themes unfold, and making sure therapy scenes reflect the reality of clinical work, without relying on clichés or dramatic shortcuts. Our goal is to support storytelling that feels nuanced, believable, and emotionally honest.

Parent Coaching

Parent coaching can help parents struggling with all kinds of issues with their children, such as tantrums, sleep challenges, sibling rivalry, following household rules, parental preference, navigating transitions, and more. Dr. Jackson teaches parents how to understand the "why" behind their child's behavior and reactions, and get at the root cause so changes are long-lasting. Parent coaching is individually tailored to meet each family's needs and can be either short-term or long-term depending on the family's goals.

Dr. Michelle Jackson, PsyD

Personality Assessment

Personality assessment is a valuable clinical tool for deepening self-awareness, enriching individual therapy, and improving interpersonal patterns. We administer the Personality Assessment Inventory, (PAI) an empirically supported measure of personality and mental health problems. Clients are provided a full written report of the results which includes a summary and treatment recommendations to guide therapy.
