“There has been a marked change in my daughter's ability to cope with anxiety and stressors and using the coping skills she learned she has been able to get through situations that she couldn't before. Her self confidence has also increased. Many thanks to Shanna - my daughter was sad to not see her each week any more, but the reason for that was a great one.”

“Megan was so valuable to our family during a trying time in our lives. My son needed someone to understand him and show him how to ask for help when he needs it. He has gone from failing multiple classes to being an honor student. He’s been so helpful around the house and is all around a happy child. We’re so grateful that we made the choice to go with Handspring.”

“Lindsay LITERALLY changed not just my daughter's life, but our entire family dynamic. We thought we were going to have to consider homeschool, as she was experiencing debilitating separation anxiety. We assumed she would end up on medication - not only did she not need medication, she has not missed a single day of school this year.”

"I have seen a huge improvement in the way my daughter communicates, manages her emotions, and behaves since she started her weekly sessions. I am so grateful to see such a positive impact with her and within a short period of time. Tried other solutions and none worked. Thankful for Handspring services helping our family."

"We were so happy with the care our son received. There has been such a change in him over the past year and we are so grateful! Morgan was able to connect with him so well and teach him so many skills that he now uses every day. Thank you all so much for everything you have done!"

FAQs

Who joins the call?

Typically, a parent or guardian joins the call. If your child is 18 or older, they’re welcome to join directly — or together with you if that feels best.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

No referral is needed. Parents and caregivers can book directly with us — it only takes a few minutes.

When can therapy start?

Most families begin therapy within a week of their consult. There’s no waitlist, so your child can get started quickly with the right therapist.

What is your clinical approach?

Our therapists primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — the gold-standard, first-line treatment for anxiety, depression, and other common mental health challenges.
Our approach emphasizes:

  • Practical, age-appropriate skill-building
  • Active participation and collaboration
  • Parental involvement in care
  • Strengths-based focus
  • Ongoing progress tracking and feedback

What is your approach to parenting support?

We use Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) — a proven, interactive approach that helps parents manage challenging behaviors and build stronger relationships. You’ll learn, practice, and apply skills in real-world scenarios with guidance from your therapist to build confidence and consistency at home.
