Therapy Services
​Psychotherapy may be short-term or long term, either individually with a therapist, or as a part of a therapy group. We are particularly proud of our social skills groups!

Therapy may include:
  • Individual services
  • Family sessions and parent consultation
  • Social skills therapy groups for children, teens, and young adults
  • Telehealth available

​Please send us a message or give us a call, and we will guide you to the therapist who will best meet your needs. Goodness of fit with your therapist is very important; if we are unable to match you with an appropriate therapist at Kids On Up Psychotherapy, then we will try to help you find a therapist elsewhere. ​
Our Therapists
Solomon Kobes, LCSW
I started this practice based on my belief that with respect, curiosity, and timing, we can engage young people no matter how closed off they seem.  Barriers to engagement include fear, disorganization, self-absorption, anger, hyperactivity, and more.  Still all are open to enticement; all crave connection. 
 
​By treating young people with respect and curiosity we nurture those same values in them, and in doing so help move them toward more harmonious relationships ​

Sung Moy, LCSW-A
​I support children, teens, and young adults from a neurodivergent affirming and anti-
oppressive perspective. This means that I try my best to be sensitive and make my
clients feel safe. People should be supported to thrive in the way that they need, and my
goal is to help my clients to develop skills and receive accommodations to do so. ​I use
techniques from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, Structured TEACCHing, and Motivational
Interviewing; I am always learning new approaches to help my clients.
