Effective, enjoyable therapy for kids and their families
Our Philosophy
Time Limited
We believe that many issues children struggle with can be addressed in a short-term model of treatment that guides and teaches them new skills and ways of communicating–after a few months of work, many kids can get back to the business of being children (violin lessons, playdates, and running around at the park after school).
Skill Based
Your child’s treatment will be based on building skills to help improve emotional literacy, frustration tolerance, anxiety management, and inter-personal communication. Every week, the session will focus on a different skill, the child then will teach this skill to the adult at the end of session and you both will practice the skill throughout the week.
Family Involved
We believe that you, as a parent, are the sun and moon of your child’s life. You have enormous power to shape the way your children feel about themselves and express their feelings. Feelings School helps parents develop therapeutic skills to support and guide their child’s emotional development.
The Feelings School™ team is invested in helping your child and family gain relief from pain, cope with life’s stress, and move toward your goals.
Your work with us is just the beginning of a new way of approaching and understanding feelings.
We will provide you with a space to connect and communicate, to explore your relationship, to learn new techniques to address old problems, and new ways to grow together as a family.

“Feelings School was excellent from the start. From my initial call with lissa to all of the work my child, husband and I did with Sarah, it was just a wonderful, impactful, and positive experience. So much progress was made for all of us, and we are so grateful. We have recommended Feelings School widely and will certainly be back as needed. THANK YOU!”
