Using developmentally appropriate, evidence-based tools, this assessment process helps identify each client's emotional, developmental, and relational needs, ensuring therapy is personalized and effective from the start.

Assessments may include:

• Observations of parent-child interactions - Marschak Interaction Method (MIM)

• Screening for anxiety, trauma, depression, behavioral patterns, mood disorders, and general well-being.

• Collaborative feedback and recommendations for next steps
