A note from our Clinical Director: Chris Decker, PsyD

Welcome to The Tree House!

I am not only the parent of four children with varying degrees of special needs, but I have also worked with children and adolescents as clinical psychologist for the past twenty-five years. I have seen a need in our area for unique programming to support the healthy development of all children, whether they are typically developing or have unique challenges.

All of us at the Tree House are really excited about our programs! As you read through this web site, you will come across unique programming to support the development of your child aged three to eighteen years. We have friendship and social skills groups, camps, Friday Night Outs, volunteer opportunities for children and teens, stress busting activities and many other fun groups that strengthen the mind and body! Our wide range of services are covered by insurance and are held during convenient times for busy families like our own. Please continue to check in with us for updates to our programming and new additions to our web site!

We look forward to meeting you!
