At Embark, we believe that emotional well-being matters at every age. We specialize in supporting children and youth and we welcome parents as partners, too!

When kids and teens struggle with big emotions and difficult thoughts, therapy can help. With care, compassion, and a little playfulness, we help kids find greater ease in their lives, now and in the future.

Meeting kids where they are, as they are.

At Embark, we are ready to support your child or teen if they are experiencing any of the following:

  • persistent emotional distress or dysregulation (e.g., sadness, anger)

  • persistent fearfulness and anxiety

  • grief and loss

  • perfectionism that interferes with relationships or achievement

  • selective mutism

  • school refusal

  • difficulty with interpersonal relationships

  • difficulty with family separation or divorce

  • bullying, social exclusion or isolation

  • symptoms of ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder that are impacting their ability to cope and thrive at home and school

We help kids and teens do amazing things.

  • Face their fears and worries.

  • Unhook from difficult thoughts.

  • Make room for difficult feelings.

  • Try new things and keep going (even when it’s hard or the outcome is uncertain).

  • Discover who they are and how they want to be in the world.

  • Practice being kind and caring to themselves.

  • ‘Let it be’ or ‘let it go’ when change isn’t on the way.

  • Slow down and take in their surroundings.

  • Make choices and do things that matter to them and those they care about.
