Knippenberg, Patterson, Langley & Associates

From Assessment to Connection: Specialized Care For Your Child's Journey

We work with children, teens, and young adults navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, learning differences and neurodiversity, not just the behaviors diagnosis, but everything that comes with it. The social challenges. The family strain. The questions about what comes next. Our psychologists and therapists look at the whole picture: identifying strengths, building social confidence and peer connection through a proven model and providing social groups, and therapy that supports your child and your entire family.

What we consistently see is that with the right support, things shift. Kids begin forming real friendships. Teens discover strengths no one, including themselves, expected. Young adults start gaining traction toward independence. And families stop guessing and start moving forward together.

Our clinical services include individual therapy, parent coaching, family counseling, excessive screens and video games, failure-to-launch support, EMDR and trauma work, eating disorder, and general therapeutic care across all ages.

However long you've been searching for the right support you're finally in the right place
