Growing up is tough, and it changes every day. Kids don’t arrive with a complete toolkit of coping skills and stress management techniques. They also typically don’t have the perspective to recognize when the tools they do have aren’t serving them.
Individual counseling and group therapy classes can help children and teens develop new tools to manage everyday situations so they can grow and thrive. Our team of pediatric therapists works closely with our pediatricians to provide comprehensive care for your whole child.
Our child therapists are part of an integrated team that supports patients referred by our medical providers. If you’re interested in counseling or therapy for your child, start by booking an introductory medical appointment.
We’re here to help with individual counseling, group counseling, behavioral therapy, parenting classes, and more.
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health struggles kids and teens face. Happily, there are many strategies for working through and overcoming various kinds of anxiety.
Attention disorders can make everyday life more challenging for both kids and parents. Counseling can arm kids with new tools and strategies that help—with or without prescribed medication.
For parents, depression is one of the most difficult things to watch a child battle. Working closely with your pediatrician, we'll determine the optimal combination of resources, interventions, and, if necessary, medications.
Our ADHD Parenting Classes and weekly online LGBTQ+ support group help kids, tweens, teens, and their parents learn from one another’s experiences and feel less alone in life's challenges.

My kids have been going to Family First for 12 years! Family first has been so good to us. I have three kids that go. They love all of the doctors and nurses! The love that they can earn coins for prizes! I would recommend everyone to choose Family First if your child needs a new doctor!!
