We are a group of seasoned Registered Psychologists, Trauma Specialists, and Play Therapists who specialize in assessment, parent/school consultation, and therapy services for children and adolescents (ages 0-18) who experience a range of social, emotional, behavioral and relational concerns.
While working with children and adolescents is what we’re best known for, we extend our specialized assessment and therapeutic support services to caregivers, young adults and couples who are on their own path to healing and living a life they love.
Our foundation is always strengths-based, compassionate and collaborative. We believe that we all have the capacity to change, learn, and grow. Our drive and commitment stem from our genuine interest to help others meet their happiest and healthiest potential.

How to Get Started
You can call, email, or fill out our website’s new client inquiry form. Tell us a little about what you are looking for and we’ll connect you with the Psychologist of best fit. We aim to respond to all inquiries within 24 hours. A doctor’s referral is not necessary.
Once you connect with your Psychologist, we’ll create a profile for you with Jane APP’s booking system. You can log into your account and from there, complete consent and intake forms, manage your bookings, join video calls, and access payment options and receipts.
You and your Psychologist will determine in advance whether your first appointment will occur in-person at our clinic, or by phone or video. Your initial session will focus on gaining a better understanding of you/your child, and your lived experience. By the end of the first session, you will collaborate on a plan together.
If you have any questions, or you’re not sure what services would be best for you, please contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss options with you and match you with the services best suited to your needs.
Nora and the Worry Zoot
An illustrated book by Dr. Jennifer Gordon and Illustrated by Rob Bryson. How do you talk to your kids about anxiety and worry?
Navigating new and uncertain situations is difficult for most children. This empowering story is about overcoming worry and apprehension, as well as building courage and confidence to try new things. For Nora, worry comes in the form of a pesky little bug that tries its best to stop her from being brave when meeting new friends. Using rhyme, this story addresses symptoms of worry and provides coping strategies that help Nora to find and embrace her “inner strong”. This story is the perfect springboard for talking to children about worry. It aims to inspire courage, foster resiliency, and promote inner strength in their lives no matter how difficult the challenge.
