Serving families in Connecticut and California
Whether your child is struggling with big emotions, or you need a space that is just yours - Building Blocks Therapy was built for this exact moment.
Is your child struggling with big emotions? Are you a parent that doesn’t know where to turn and it feels like you are trying all the recommended techniques you see online but nothing is working? Do you feel you need a space for yourself as a parent that is just yours? Welcome to Building Blocks Therapy, you’ve landed in the right place!
I’m Kathryn, a psychotherapist that specializes and works exclusively with preschoolers to teenagers & their families. I founded Building Blocks Therapy after working with children for over a decade and wanting to create a safe space for children and their families that provided inclusive support all in one space. Being a parent myself, I understand the mental load that parenting takes and when your child, or you, are struggling the last thing you want to do is be a case manager for all the providers in your life.
Therapists at Building Blocks have extensive experience working with children and their families that are struggling with: Anxiety, OCD, Social/School Issues, Changes in Family Dynamics (separation, divorce, adoption) and children with big feelings. We are trained in: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, and SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (currently in the certification program).
You don’t have to struggle with your children’s feelings and behaviors alone, we believe in supporting the whole family with a combination of individual child therapy, family group therapy, and parent guidance sessions. We are also happy to collaborate with school teams, and outside providers. We firmly believe in the saying “it takes a village to raise a child” and we are so happy to be a part of so many family’s villages.
