Meet Huxley! Cici’s very own Therapy Dog!

Cici is licensed and in training as a therapist practicing individual and family therapy.

Cici specializes in supporting children and young adults (3-21 years). Drawing from her experience working in schools with children receiving special education services, as well as neurotypical learners, Cici works with her clients and their families on everything from ADHD and anxiety to conflict resolution and bullying. In addition to working one-on-one with her clients, she provides parenting support to her client’s caregiver(s) and provides pediatric ADHD evaluations.

Cici begins work with her clients by meeting them where they’re at. She prioritizes the mental health needs of her clients using a talk therapy format and employing Family Systems Therapy techniques through a trauma-informed lens.
