Counseling Services
Cutting Edge Pediatric and Adult Therapy believes in the comprehensive treatment of the whole person. With developmental and learning differences, this often involves many collaborative units working together to support our clients’ personal growth to their fullest potential. One of those essential collaborative units is mental health Counseling.
We know that supporting individuals with developmental, emotional, or physical challenges requires more than just skill-building through therapies; it requires a strong foundation of emotional and social wellness and compassionate care. Our special needs counseling services are designed to meet the mental, behavioral, and emotional needs of individuals aged 3 through adulthood, as well as provide counseling for parents of special needs children, in a compassionate and supportive environment.
Why Counseling at Cutting Edge?
Our licensed counselors offer a wide range of therapeutic interventions tailored to each client’s unique needs, strengths, and developmental stage. Depending on what best suits the individual, our counselors may incorporate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, or Play Therapy, etc.

What Makes Our Counseling Model Unique?
Just like our therapy services, our counseling model is rooted in collaboration and whole-person care. We believe emotional growth is most powerful when integrated into daily life and supported by a team.
Our counselors work closely with other therapy disciplines to ensure unified goals and a seamless treatment experience. We offer collaboration when appropriate, maximizing each client’s success and making things easier for families.
At Cutting Edge, counseling may take place in traditional one-on-one sessions, or in functional environments such as our gym, apartment, or even our on-site coffee shop, Spencer’s Java Jam. These settings allow for real-life emotional learning, whether that’s practicing social communication, managing transitions, or navigating stress in everyday activities.
