Who We Help

We accept referrals from schools, pediatricians, courts, and other care providers — and families can also reach out to us directly.

Our Process

What to Expect

Starting therapy can feel daunting — especially when your family is already stretched thin. Here’s what actually happens when you reach out to us.

You reach out

Contact us by phone or through our online form. A member of our intake team will get back to you — a real person, not an automated system — to answer your questions and walk you through what to expect.

01

We complete an intake

02

Your family will go through an intake process to help us understand your child’s history, current challenges, and goals. This helps us match your child with the therapist who is the best fit for their needs.

You meet your therapist

The first few sessions are about building trust and getting to know your child. Our therapists are masters-educated and trained with specialized experience in youth and adolescent mental health.

03

We build a plan together

Our Clinical Supervisor will work with your therapist to develop an individualized treatment plan. As a parent or caregiver you are an important part of the healing process — because healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

04

We adjust as your child grows

Treatment plans evolve. We regularly review progress and adjust the approach based on what’s working. Our goal is for every young person to leave our care stronger and more resilient than when they arrived.

04

Sessions

Most clients attend one to two sessions per week. Frequency is adjusted based on individual needs and progress.

Individual and family sessions are approximately 50 minutes.

Worried about cost?

We believe cost should never be the reason ayoung person doesn’t get the support they need. We work with families to makecare as accessible as possible.

We accept Idaho Medicaid.

We are in-network with many private insuranceproviders. Call us to verify your coverage before your first appointment.
