Designed for both comfort and concentration, it’s equipped with specialized tools to ensure each evaluation is tailored to the individual. Guided by our mission, our clinicians focus on delivering accurate diagnoses and personalized recommendations to help clients succeed in every area of life.

"It's important to approach such a critical issue—where the stakes are so high—with care and accuracy. Overstating the potential risks of treatment without clearly delineating the risks of untreated depression impacts our patients' ability to make informed decisions."
- Dr. Adrian Kress, Psychiatrist at Kentlands Psychotherapy

The recent FDA expert panel focused largely on the risks of SSRIs during pregnancy but ignored or diminished the risks associated with untreated depression in the mother.

Our Preschool & Kindergarten Prep event last Friday was a hit! 🎒✨

Our expert panel—including Dr. Jill Jacobson, Dr. Jessica Stutzman, Daniela Nogales, LCPC, Elsy Estrada, LMSW, and special guest preschool director Allison Colker—shared helpful strategies from easing first-day jitters to creating smooth goodbyes at drop-off. The conversations were thoughtful, the questions were spot-on, and the support among parents was heartwarming.

Big thanks to our speakers (pictured below!) and to all the parents who showed up to learn, share, and connect.

Here’s to smoother drop-offs and confident little learners this fall! 📚💬

This week’s parenting tip is all about slowing down and being present.
Life moves fast, especially when you’re a busy parent. But even a few minutes of undistracted time, whether during a meal, a car ride, or a one-on-one activity, can create lasting connection.

Here are some tips for success:
✔ Plan ahead for what you’ll do
✔ Start small—even just 5–10 minutes
✔ Put away distractions
✔ Treat the time like an important meeting

How will you practice being present with your child this week?

As parents, we’re often so focused on doing for our kids that we forget how powerful it is just to be with them.
This week, we’re encouraging families to carve out intentional time together. Think simple: painting, baking, exploring somewhere new.
One-on-one moments don’t have to be big to be meaningful.
What memory do you want to create this summer?
Drop it in the comments, we’d love to hear from you.
