Do you offer telehealth behavioral health services?

Yes. We offer secure telehealth options for many of our behavioral therapy services, including CBT and parent-based treatment.

What ages do you work with?

We specialize in working with children as young as 2 through adolescents and teens up to age 18.

Are your behavioral therapy services evidence-based?

Absolutely. Our clinical team uses only research-supported methods like CBT, ERP, DBT, and PCIT for treating anxiety and behavioral issues.

Do you provide group therapy for kids with selective mutism?

Yes, we offer group-based behavioral health services specifically for selective mutism and social anxiety to support brave talking practice.

Selective mutiSM

Unlocking speech where it feels stuck.

You may know your child as full of personality, expressive, talkative, even loud at home — yet completely unable to speak in school or other social settings.

This is not defiance. It is not a language delay. It is anxiety.

Selective Mutism (SM) responds to gradual, structured, evidence-based intervention designed to reduce avoidance and expand brave talking across people, places, and activities.

HOW WE HELP

Individual SeSSIONS

GROUP THERAPY

Individual sessions focus on clinician-led, exposure-based treatment to help children gradually expand their talking world across people, places, and activities. Using structured practice and real-time coaching, we reduce avoidance and build verbal flexibility step by step. For pre-teens and adolescents, cognitive-behavioral strategies are integrated to address anxious thinking patterns and increase self-directed skill use.

Parent Coaching

Parent coaching follows the Parent-Child Interaction Therapy Adapted for Selective Mutism (PCIT-SM) framework that equips caregivers with practical, in-the-moment strategies to support brave speech. Parents learn how to prompt effectively, reduce accommodations, and lead exposures across home, school, and community settings. The goal is to help you become your child’s most consistent and confident brave talking coach.

Our 90-minute weekly groups provide a carefully structured environment designed to support individualized speaking goals. Sessions are intentionally curated to control key variables — peer composition, prompting style, and exposure sequencing — while offering targeted 1:1 clinician support within a small group format. This allows children to practice speech in a supported, socially meaningful setting.

School Collaboration

We partner with schools to help translate treatment gains into the classroom. This may include teacher consultation, coordinated exposure plans, advocacy support, and training around reducing accommodations while maintaining appropriate expectations. Consistency across settings is essential for speech to generalize and sustain.

◼︎

IntenSiveS

Our Mighty Mouth Kids (MMK) Camps and Clubs — and individualized intensives — provide concentrated, multi-day treatment designed to accelerate progress. These programs combine repeated exposure practice, peer interaction, and live parent coaching within a structured, high-frequency format. For many children, intensives create meaningful momentum when weekly therapy alone is not enough.

What ProgreSS LookS Like

Progress doesn’t begin with full classroom participation or public presentations.
It may begin with a whisper. A one-word response. Speaking to one new adult.

Brave wins compound — and with consistent structure, speech expands.

FAQs

It is common for children with Selective Mutism to remain silent at first — especially with new adults. Treatment does not rely on forcing speech. We use structured exposure techniques, gradual fade-ins, and parent involvement to build comfort and verbal participation step by step.
The length of treatment varies depending on how entrenched the avoidance patterns are and how consistently strategies are implemented across settings. Some children make steady progress in weekly therapy, while others benefit from a higher-frequency or intensive format to accelerate gains. We outline realistic expectations during your consultation.
Intensive treatment may be recommended when silence has generalized across multiple settings, when progress in weekly therapy has stalled, or when a child is approaching a transition (such as a new school year). Concentrated, multi-day intervention can create momentum by providing repeated, structured speaking opportunities in a short timeframe.
Selective Mutism can be effectively treated across childhood and adolescence. Early intervention is helpful, but it is never “too late” to begin structured, evidence-based support. Treatment plans are tailored to developmental level and setting demands.
