Therapy for Children, Teens, & Whole Families

Holistic, integrative, and relational Mental Health care

There's more to your child than symptoms. We want to know their story.

When a child is struggling, what you see on the surface is often only one part of the picture. We take time to understand their emotions, nervous system, relationships, sensory needs, school experiences, and life at home so your family can find support that truly fits.

We provide virtual therapy for children and teens across Michigan, with parent coaching, family sessions, and coordinated care when helpful. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and Priority Health, and will be accepting HAP PPO & UHC soon.

We Support Children, Teens & Families With…

  • ADHD, autism and neurodivergent experiences: Executive function, masking, burnout, giftedness or understanding a new diagnosis.

  • Diagnostic clarity: ADHD and comprehensive mental health assessments to understand symptoms and clarify next steps.

  • Sensory needs and emotional regulation: Overwhelm, transitions, intense emotions, meltdowns and shutdowns.

  • Parenting and family relationships: Difficult behaviors, communication, boundaries, sibling relationships, and differences in parenting approaches.

  • Adoption, blended families and life transitions: Preparing for adoption, supporting adopted children, separation, divorce, co-parenting and grief.

  • School and peer relationships: School avoidance, academic stress, learning differences, bullying, friendships and adapting to a new school.

  • Anxiety, mood and stressful experiences: Persistent worry, sadness, irritability, withdrawal and distressing events.

  • Identity, confidence and belonging: Self-esteem, cultural identity, LGBTQIA+ experiences and understanding who they are as they grow.

Not sure what kind of support you need? We can start with a conversation and figure out the next step together.

How We Support The Family

Whole Health Care for the Whole Child

We go beyond traditional methods because your child's care should be as unique as they are.

Your child's struggles don't exist in a vacuum; their history, neurology, relationships, sensory experiences, identity, and environment all shape how they think, feel, and move through the world.

Whole-health care means understanding how your child's mind, emotions, nervous system, and environment interact. We explore how sleep, stress, sensory experiences, relationships, family culture, and school dynamics may be influencing their wellbeing, then help you build personalized treatment plans that support each layer.

We address emotional and behavioral patterns at their source while also helping children, teens, and families develop real, actionable strategies to create lasting change in daily life.

Our work combines somatic healing, relational therapy, nervous system regulation, and evidence-based treatment to create a therapeutic experience that responds to your child's real needs and evolves as they do.

Not Sure if Your Child Needs Therapy? Here’s a Few Signs to Pay Attention to:

Consider reaching out if you're noticing:

  • A gut feeling that something is off, even if you can't name it

  • Frequent meltdowns that feel bigger than the situation

  • Difficulty with transitions, changes in routine, or unexpected shifts

  • Persistent worries or fears that interfere with daily life

  • Withdrawal from friends or activities they used to enjoy

  • Struggles at school that don't improve with extra support

  • Difficulty managing emotions, expressing needs, or asking for help

  • Sleep issues, appetite changes, or unexplained physical complaints

  • Social challenges or feeling "different" from peers

  • Emotional outbursts and sensory sensitivities

  • School refusal, academic stress, or performance anxiety

A Familiar Space. New Ways to Connect.

Virtual Care as a Therapuetic Advantage

Between school, activities, medical appointments and work, family schedules can already involve a lot of getting from one place to another. Virtual therapy makes room for support without adding another drive, allowing children, teens and caregivers to connect from a comfortable, private space at home.

Our therapists use interactive online tools and activities alongside evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help children and teens connect, express themselves and stay engaged. Shaped around each young person’s age, interests and needs, online sessions can feel familiar to children and teens who already use technology to connect with others. For some, being in their own space can make it easier to settle in and participate.

Our therapist offer flexible scheduling options including weekday morning, afternoon and evening appointments, plus weekend morning and afternoon options.

Collaborative Care to Support Your Child

At Michigan Wellbeing Therapy Clinic, collaborative care means taking an active role in connecting the support your child receives at school, at home and through their healthcare team. With the appropriate permissions, collaboration may include:

  • Psychiatrists and prescribing clinicians: Sharing relevant observations about symptoms, functioning and goals to inform their medication-management decisions.

  • Pediatricians and medical providers: Coordinating around health concerns that may affect wellbeing and participation in therapy.

  • Teachers and school counselors: Discussing emotional, academic and sensory needs, supporting requests for accommodations and exploring learning environments that fit your child.

  • Coaches, tutors and other providers: Aligning practical strategies so support is more consistent across settings.

Support that evolves as they do.

Healing takes time, and it asks for curiosity and compassion from everyone involved. That's why we work to meet you exactly where you are, using an integrative approach that fits your family's unique story.

Specialized Support

Adoption & Blended-Family Support

Our team specializes in adoption-related support, working with parents preparing for adoption, children who have been adopted and families navigating the relationships and adjustments that can come with adoption or blending households.

Through conversations about belonging, identity, attachment, and family connection, we take time to understand your family’s experience and shape support around the questions and relationships that matter at this stage.

Support for High-Masking Children and Teens

We also work with children and teens who have learned to mask their struggles, appearing fine on the surface while quietly exhausted underneath. Some hold it together all day at school, then fall apart the moment they get home. This kind of masking is exhausting, and over time it can lead to burnout, anxiety, and a disconnection from their true selves. We help these kids understand why they're so tired and build lives where they don't have to perform just to get through the day.

Get an Integrative Perspective on Your Child’s Treatment Plan

If your child already works with a therapist, you’re welcome to consult with our team for an additional perspective on their care. We take time to understand your concerns, current goals, what has helped and where questions remain. With your permission, we can review relevant treatment information and collaborate with the existing therapist or support team.

Together, we consider emotional health, neurodevelopmental and sensory needs, family relationships, school demands and other supports. We help you develop a comprehensive treatment plan or refine an existing one, with priorities and recommendations you can discuss with your care team. A consultation can complement the care you already have; you do not need to transfer therapists.

Consultation & School Advocacy

School advocacy can include helping families communicate their child’s needs, request appropriate accommodations and explore whether a learning environment fits their academic, developmental and sensory needs. We work with you to make informed decisions about support and schooling.

Virtual Assessments, Consultation & Treatment Planning

A Clearer Understanding of Your Child’s Needs

Understanding your child’s needs can change how your family makes sense of what has been happening and open up possibilities for care that felt hard to see before. Michigan Wellbeing Therapy Clinic offers virtual ADHD assessments and comprehensive mental health assessments to explore symptoms, consider possible diagnoses and rule out alternatives when the clinical findings support doing so.

We work through the findings with you so they become a meaningful foundation for treatment and support. Our assessments do not include comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations.

You can also consult with us about neurodivergence, giftedness or sensory needs without committing to ongoing therapy, giving your family space to understand the options and consider what would be most helpful
