Frequently Asked Questions
What subjects do you tutor?
We offer support in most core subjects, including math, science, English, and history. We also help with academic planning, study skills, and test prep.
Do you work with students who have ADHD or executive functioning challenges?
Yes! Supporting students with executive functioning needs is one of our specialties. We offer tailored strategies for organization, focus, and time management.
How are sessions structured?
Most sessions last 50–60 minutes and are scheduled once or twice per week, depending on your student’s needs. We offer both in-person and online options for maximum flexibility.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
We provide regular updates and check-ins, focusing on measurable improvements in organization, confidence, and academic performance—not just grades.
Is there a consultation or intake process?
Yes! We offer a no-cost consultation to get to know your student, understand their goals, and create a personalized tutoring plan.
When you’re ready to get started, the process is easy.
When you’re ready to take the first step toward healing, growth, or simply having a space to talk things through, we’ve made the process as easy and stress-free as possible. We know reaching out can feel overwhelming, so we’ve designed a client-friendly booking process that puts you in control.
As a new client, you can begin by using our Book Now option below. This tool allows you to review available clinicians, explore their areas of expertise, and choose the provider that feels like the right fit for your needs. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, your child, or your family, we want you to feel confident and empowered in your selection.
You can choose between two session lengths depending on what works best for your situation. A full session runs for 50 minutes and allows time for deeper exploration and long-form conversation. A half session, which is 25 minutes, may be ideal for shorter, more focused discussions or for regular check-ins as needed.
Once you’ve selected your preferred clinician and session type, you’ll choose your location. We offer flexible options for attending your sessions, including in-person appointments at our welcoming Danville office and virtual sessions via our secure, HIPAA-compliant online platform. Both options ensure you’ll receive quality care in a space that feels safe and supportive.
Can our clinicians help?
Absolutely. Our team is composed of dedicated professionals from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds. We believe diversity enhances the therapy experience by offering clients a broad range of perspectives and specialties. We have both associate therapists, who are under the direct supervision of a licensed clinician, and fully licensed therapists, each bringing their unique style and years of experience to the work they do.
Our clinic has supported individuals across the lifespan—from young children as young as age 3, to teens, adults, couples, and families. Our services include child therapy, adolescent counseling, adult individual therapy, family sessions, and couples therapy. We tailor our approach to each client’s unique story, using evidence-based techniques to help guide meaningful and lasting change.
A Note About Emergency Services
Please be aware that our clinicians do not provide emergency or crisis intervention services for new clients. If you or your child is experiencing a life-threatening situation or is in immediate need of urgent care, please call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room for immediate assistance.
We’re honored you’re considering us on your journey. If you have any questions before booking or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
