Welcome to Brighter Days Counseling

At Brighter Days Counseling, we believe that healing begins in safe relationships, not worksheets or quick fixes. Our practice is grounded in the belief that every child, teen, and caregiver deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported in ways that honor their unique nervous system, story, and strengths.

We specialize in neurodiversity affirming, trauma informed, and attachment focused therapy for children, adolescents, and families. Our work centers the whole family system and is inclusive of people of all abilities, neurotypes, and communication styles.

We know that traditional talk therapy is not always the right fit for kids, which is why we offer play based, sensory informed, and relationship centered approaches that speak the language of children. Our team is trained in Theraplay, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Family Play Therapy, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), Polyvagal Theory, and family systems models that help build trust, safety, and connection from the inside out.

Instead of focusing on fixing behaviors, we focus on understanding them. We do not use CBT as a default model. Instead, we help children and families co-create new experiences of safety and belonging through non behavioral, non pathologizing, and experiential work.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, parenting challenges, or just feeling stuck, we are here to walk alongside you, supporting growth from surviving to thriving, one relationship at a time.
