Brain Science + Relationships.
Welcome. We are glad you found us. The Real Work is a small, carefully designed mental health practice created specifically for parents and children. Everything we do is informed by the latest research in child development and relational neuroscience. We aren’t here to give advice or put a bandaid on behavior. We believe that ll behavior is a form of communication of a deeper need, so no matter what you child has been going through, there is a way to see them for who they really are, and provide true support for healing and growth.
Why relationship-based therapy?
There is so much noise and information out there about mental health, skills, trainings, programs and books! These can be helpful, but are not a substitute for a deep relationship with a therapist who is trained to have your back and help you understand yourself, your past, and your relationships.

FAQs
How often do you meet with us for therapy?
Therapy is relationship-based, which means we will spend a great deal of time establishing a trusting relationship. This takes time. Typically we meet with children and families weekly for at least 6 weeks or until symptoms become more manageable, then scale back to every other week if you prefer. Many families stay with us for years, enjoying the support as life happens. Each person is unique, so keep in mind that this is just a general plan based on the evidence base and our experience.
Do you bill insurance?
We are private pay, which means you pay our full fee for service. However, our licensed clinicians are able to provide you with a receipt for services that you can submit to your insurance for out of network benefits! Please bring this up at your consultation if you’d like to consider it.
