Child Services

Our goal is to empower our younger generation to develop healthy, lasting skills that foster success, healthy relationships, and emotional maturity as they develop. ​WellSpring provides individual and family therapy for children, adolescents, and their caregivers. We offer support for children dealing with anxiety/fears, depression, trauma or stress, adjustment problems, behavioral issues, family stressors, and more. We are not just here for children, but for parents and caregivers as well. Parents are an integral part of the therapy process, and are encouraged to be actively involved.

Adult Services

Life is full of challenges, and we are here to help you learn and grow even from the most difficult experiences. WellSpring offers individual, couples and family therapy for adults to address a number of issues, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, eating disorders, adjustment problems, trauma/stress, PTSD, work/school problems, family conflict, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. From small problems to lifelong struggles, we are here to support you along the way. For more information about adult services, please click here. 

Specialty Services

In addition to our generalized services, WellSpring offers a variety of specialized services. Our providers have a wide range of expertise, and many have extensive training/experience (10+ years) in specialized areas. For example, a number of our providers are trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an empirically supported treatment for trauma. Other's specialize in psychological assessment, neurodivergence, treatment of eating disorders, trauma-therapy for children, and parent training and support. We suggest exploring the "About Us" page for specific information on each provider and their areas of interest. 

Parent Support

When you buy a new pencil sharpener, it comes with instructions. When you have, adopt, or foster a child, you essentially get the most complicated little thing on earth, with no instructions. Our belief is that effective parenting strategies exist, can be learned, and need to be taught. We are not born knowing how to read, drive a car, or even tie our shoes. These are all things we are taught (and figure out a bit on our own). Parenting is really no different. If you were lucky enough to have perfect caregivers, you may have learned a lot about parenting from them. Even so, there is probably a lot more to know.  We strive to offer courses that will help you to be the very best parent you can be - and to enjoy it! Our Effective Parenting Course covers effective discipline strategies and how to  maintain a healthy attachment to your child. Our Mothers of Infants and Toddlers Group offers a broad range of support including how to adjust to life with an infant, how to maintain your personal relationships, forming healthy sleep, feeding, and nap routines, managing postpartum issues, and much more. ​We also offer individual and family therapy to provide personalized support. 

Co-Located Psychiatry Services

We are very pleased to offer co-located psychiatry services for children, adolescents, and young adults through a partnership with the Psychiatric Office of Heather K. Henig, MD, LLC. For more information, please see our Psychiatry Partners page.
