The Center for Families at Life Insight was created to ensure that we are delivering the very best care to children, teens, and their families.
Life Insight has been a valuable source of support in Hinsdale for over 15 years. The Center for Families was created as an extension of our practice to serve the whole family. We recognized the need to provide specialized care from the ground up, and we’ve built a team of therapists who are committed to serving children ages 3 to 22 and their families.
We’ve stepped up our care for this special population by improving the ways we provide support and education. These tools create positive change for the entire family system and foster continued growth for both children and caregivers outside of the therapy office.
We’re also dedicated to ongoing education so that our clinicians can continue to provide top-notch care, utilizing best practices that are in alignment with developmental stages.
Our team works with children and families that are experiencing:
- ADHD
- Depression
- Anger & behavioral concerns
- Family transitions
- Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Learning differences
- Body image struggles
- Sensory sensitivities
- Bullying
- Trauma & loss
