Child And Family Therapist (LCSW-C, LCPC, LCMFT)

Growing Minds Center for Child and Family Therapy Growing Minds is a relationship-centered practice dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and families understand themselves, navigate challenges, and grow together. We believe behavior is communication, connection comes before correction, and meaningful change happens when children feel accepted and parents feel understood and empowered. Our work goes beyond symptom management. We help families deepen their understanding of the experiences, relationships, and environments shaping their lives. Through individual, family, and group therapy, we integrate evidence-based approaches with play, creativity, curiosity, and a deep respect for each family's unique strengths. But what makes Growing Minds special isn't just the work we do. It's the people who do it. We are a collaborative, reflective, and playful team that values professional growth, diverse perspectives, and meaningful relationships. We believe clinicians deserve the same care, respect, and support that we strive to offer the families we serve. Our culture is neuro-affirming, LGBTQIA+-affirming, and culturally responsive. We value curiosity over judgment, connection over control, and a workplace where people can bring their full selves to their work.
