Individual Therapy
We provide solution-oriented skill development for your child targeting difficulties managing worries, friendships, frustration, focus, technology habits, grief, and life transitions. Our approach is flexible, adapting to the needs of the young person, and incorporates elements of manualized treatments shown in research to promote meaningful change.

Parent Support
Together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs and goals, guided by your insights and evidence-based parent coaching strategies. Sessions are 50 minutes, available in person or virtually through my PSYPACT credential, which allows me to work with clients across 40+ states.

Career Assessments
Our career assessments melds together our core areas of expertise - human development and educational planning - with career trajectories. We help families future-proof their children’s education and career path through neuroscience-driven assessments, strategic educational planning, and AI-era skill forecasting.
At Sprouting Psychology, we believe that every adult, teen, child, and family has the potential to grow and flourish—especially when given compassionate support and evidence-based guidance.
Led by Dr. Karrie Hilliard, a Licensed Psychologist and School Psychologist, our work is rooted in research and tailored to real lives. We offer a range of therapy, assessment, and consultation services for children, adolescents, and their parents—available in person or online, in English or Spanish.
All parents want the best for their children, and all children are doing the best they can with the tools they have.
Let us help you discover and nurture the “right tools” for your journey toward balance, connection, and resilience.
