Counseling Support

Our counseling practice specializes in supporting adolescents, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, behavioral challenges, and major life transitions. We provide evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

Whether it’s managing emotions, strengthening executive functioning skills, or navigating a new season of life, our therapists walk alongside clients with practical tools and support.

Kindling also partners with parents to
help them better understand and support their children at every developmental stage.

Through coaching and collaborative guidance, we provide strategies to improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and respond to emotional or behavioral challenges with greater confidence and connection. Our goal is to equip parents with the tools they need to foster resilience, strengthen relationships, and create a supportive home environment.

Psychoeducational Evaluations

We provide comprehensive assessments to identify learning differences, ADHD, and other cognitive or emotional factors affecting academic performance and daily functioning.
