Our Approach
At Kincove, we believe that mental health support for youth should be as dynamic, individualized, and multidimensional as the young people we serve. Our approach is integrative and deeply attuned to the unique developmental needs of teens and young adults. We create a non-judgmental space where youth can feel safe exploring life’s challenges, connecting with peers, and discovering who they are—while also building the tools they need to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
How We Work
We believe that therapy should reflect the complexity and individuality of each young person. That’s why we tailor treatment to meet each client’s unique needs, drawing from a blend of evidence-based and insight-oriented approaches. Our work is grounded in connection, curiosity, and clinical expertise, incorporating:
ACT, CBT, and DBT-Informed Techniques
We teach practical, research-backed strategies to help youth manage distress, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and stay grounded during moments of emotional overwhelm.Psychodynamic Therapy
We create space for teens and young adults to explore their inner world—making sense of emotions, early relationships, and recurring patterns to build deeper self-understanding.Neurobiologically-Informed Approaches
By helping clients understand the brain-body connection, we support emotional regulation, resilience, and long-term well-being through a lens of neuroscience and safety.Family Systems Therapy
We work with families to improve communication, address relational patterns, and strengthen the support system surrounding the adolescent.Integrative Support with a Focus on Nutrition
We recognize the essential role of physical wellness—including sleep, movement, and nutrition—in supporting mental health, and integrate this knowledge into care when relevant.
At Kincove, we also honor the central role of the family. While we prioritize teen and young adult autonomy in therapy, we believe they do best when supported by strong, healthy relationships with caregivers. That’s why our process includes a parent-only intake session, regular parent check-ins every 4–6 weeks (or more frequently as needed), and ongoing collaboration. We strive to balance the growing independence of adolescence with the reality that teens still need connection, structure, and guidance from the adults in their lives.
