Child and Adolescent Therapy
Young minds navigate an increasingly complex world, and sometimes they need support to process their experiences and develop healthy coping strategies. Our child and adolescent therapy services address the developmental needs of growing minds while honoring the remarkable resilience that children display.
Whether your child struggles with anxiety, behavioral challenges that disrupt family harmony, or academic difficulties, our skilled therapists create safe spaces where young people can explore their feelings and develop confidence.
Age-Appropriate Therapies
We use age-appropriate therapies, including play therapy, art-based interventions, and sensitive talk therapy to meet children where they are emotionally and cognitively. Parental involvement plays a crucial role in our approach, as sustainable change occurs when the entire family supports a child.

Parent Collaboration
Sustainable change occurs when the entire family supports a child's growth.

Whether you're managing anxiety, working through depression, healing from trauma, or navigating major life transitions, our experienced therapists can help.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our evidence-based approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for changing thought patterns that cause distress, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation. Our mindfulness-based therapy helps to ground you in the present moment, and we provide trauma-informed care that honors your experiences while encouraging healing.

Baltimore Family Therapy Services
Families are complex systems in which each member's well-being influences that of the others. When families choose to engage in therapy together, they acknowledge their commitment to each other and recognize that some challenges are best addressed through collective healing and growth.
Systemic Family Approach
We examine family patterns, communication styles, and dynamics rather than identifying one person as "the problem."
Common Family Challenges
We help families develop communication strategies that honor both older and younger generations' needs.
Family Dynamics
Support for sibling rivalry, blended families, and creating unity while honoring each person's history.
Baltimore Couples Therapy Services
Relationships form the core of our most meaningful life experiences, but they can also present some of our most significant challenges. When couples invest in professional support, they make a powerful statement about their commitment to each other and their future together.
Communication breakdowns often leave partners feeling unheard, misunderstood, or emotionally distant from the person they love most. Our Baltimore couples therapy services honor the unique dynamics of your partnership, providing the practical tools and understanding to help strengthen your bond.
Conflict Resolution and Trust Rebuilding
Conflict resolution challenges can turn minor disagreements into major battles, eroding trust and intimacy over time. We help couples develop healthy conflict resolution skills that honor both partners' needs while strengthening their relationship, rather than damaging it.
Trust rebuilding after infidelity requires a careful process that acknowledges pain while bringing about genuine healing and renewed commitment.
Pre-Marital Counseling
Pre-marital counseling and marriage preparation can help couples enter marriage with realistic expectations. It also enhances communication skills and fosters an understanding of one another's values, goals, and aspirations.
Therapeutic Approach
We understand that relationships exist as a dynamic partnership where each person's actions and reactions influence the other in continuous cycles. Rather than focusing on blame or fault-finding, we help couples understand these patterns and develop new ways of interacting. This helps to create positive cycles of connection and support.

Book Couples TherapyBaltimore Educational Consulting Services
When children struggle in traditional educational settings, specialized advocacy can help them differentiate between feeling defeated and unlocking their full potential.
Emily Mori's Specialized Expertise
Emily Mori brings extensive professional expertise in educational consulting, combining knowledge of special education law, school system procedures, and child development with genuine advocacy for every child's right to appropriate academic support.
Her approach begins with an intake process that involves developmental questionnaires, parent interviews, and a thorough review of educational records. This provides a comprehensive view of your child's academic journey.
Services Provided
Individualized Education Program (IEP) development and advocacy ensure that children with disabilities receive the specialized instruction and support services they need to access their education successfully.
504 Plan creation and implementation support helps children with disabilities who need accommodations and modifications to access their education but may not require specialized instruction.
School meeting attendance and representation provide families with expert advocacy during IEP meetings, 504 plan meetings, and other educational planning sessions. Having a knowledgeable advocate present helps ensure that your child's needs are clearly communicated and understood. It also ensures that appropriate services are identified and that your family's concerns are heard and addressed by the educational team.
Parent Empowerment Focus
Education about your rights and your child's rights within the special education process empowers you to be an effective advocate for your child throughout their educational journey. Understanding the legal protections available to students with disabilities, the procedural safeguards that ensure appropriate services, and the collaborative process of academic planning helps you participate confidently in your child's educational team.
Contact Emily Mori today to discuss how educational consulting can support your child's academic needs.
Group Therapy
Mental health support comes in many forms, and the most effective approach is often the one that fits your life while addressing your needs. Our group therapy and telehealth options provide additional pathways to healing that complement our individual, couples, and family therapy services.
Group Therapy Benefits
Peer support and shared experiences create powerful healing opportunities that individual therapy alone cannot provide. When you participate in group therapy, you discover that your struggles are not unique, that others have faced similar challenges, and that recovery and growth are not only possible but probable with appropriate support and commitment.
Cost-Effective
Group therapy offers a cost-effective therapy option that makes professional mental health support more accessible to a broader range of people, while providing the same expertise as individual sessions. The group setting creates a supportive environment where you can try new approaches to communication, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation with immediate feedback and encouragement.
Telehealth Accessibility
Whether you live in a rural area far from our offices, face transportation challenges, or prefer the convenience of receiving therapy from the comfort of your own home, telehealth offers the same high-quality care as in-person sessions. Telehealth services eliminate geography as a barrier entirely.

Sessions are individualized but generally involve discussing your thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential space. Our experienced therapists listen, provide support, and help you explore sustainable solutions and coping strategies.
