We believe relationships are at the heart of healing. Guided by interpersonal neurobiology, we help children, adults, and families become happier, healthier, and more fully themselves through the power of connection.
Rather than sending families to multiple locations and providers, we've assembled a diverse team of professionals under one roof. Our psychologists, psychotherapists, marriage and family therapists, neuropsychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, educational therapists, and parent educators all share a connection-based perspective.
We collaborate on cases, ensuring comprehensive, coordinated care that reduces stress for families and leads to better outcomes.

Our work is grounded in Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), a framework developed by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. and backed by tens of thousands of research studies, that examines how the brain, mind, and relationships interact to shape who we are.
We look beyond surface symptoms to understand the underlying causes behind both strengths and vulnerabilities, always asking what a person truly needs.
We help clients understand their own brain, mind, and relationships so they can better regulate and respond to life's challenges.
All behavior has meaning. We look at challenging behavior as a clue to what a person needs, then address the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
The brain is always changing. We harness the science of neuroplasticity to help clients build new patterns, develop skills, and create lasting growth at any age.
"We've assembled skilled professionals offering whole-brain perspectives grounded in recent research and the power of strong relationships."

Founder & Executive Director
Our goal is to promote connection among individuals and groups, and also to celebrate differences. We are committed to fostering a culture where everyone who visits the CFC (clients, clinicians, office staff, everyone) feels safe, valued, supported, and inspired to achieve individual and shared goals. This includes providing opportunity and access for all people across differences of race, age, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, national origin, migratory status, disability/ability, political affiliation, veteran status and socioeconomic background. The more inclusive we are, the better we can serve, and connect, our community.
