Interconnect Therapy

Therapy That Helps Every Child Thrive — With or Without a Diagnosis

Located in San Francisco, we provide holistic, play-based therapy for children and teens to build emotional regulation, social connection, communication and daily living skills. We work with children of all abilities — including those with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, learning differences, and speech challenges and guide families with practical, collaborative support.

Our neuroaffirming services promote connection, autonomy and confidence in an inclusive, sensory-friendly environment where every child is celebrated.

Do These Sound Familiar?

  • Daily routines like homework, getting dressed, or bedtime feel exhausting

  • Your child’s emotions escalate quickly, and can be hard to calm down

  • Communication feels unclear, either too little, too much or frequently misunderstood

  • You’re unsure if this is a phase, anxiety, ADHD, Autism — or something else entirely

  • Transitions, even small ones, can turn into big struggles

  • Your child shuts down, melts down, or becomes overwhelmed in busy environments

  • Focus, impulsivity, or other behaviors are a regular struggle

  • Your child wants friends but doesn’t know how to maintain them

Whether your child has a diagnosis or simply needs guidance, we help families navigate growth and challenges with confidence and understanding.

Grounded in Research, Delivered Through Connection

We don’t focus on “fixing” children. We focus on understanding what drives behavior and supporting growth while honoring identity.

Our clinicians are trained in respected, research-backed models including PEERS, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions, Pivotal Response Treatment — thoughtfully integrated to support communication, regulation, flexibility, and meaningful behavior change.

Sessions focus on:

  • Emotional regulation and nervous system support

  • Social and communication skill development

  • Play-based, child-led learning

  • Daily living and life skills

  • Collaborative coaching for parents and caregivers

What Progress Can Look Like

Growth is about expanding capacity, not changing who a child is.

Children we support may:

  • Manage emotions and self-regulate more effectively

  • Build confidence in social interactions and friendships

  • Communicate clearly, verbally or through AAC

  • Complete daily routines independently

  • Advocate for themselves and make choices with confidence

  • Light blue badge with scalloped edges

    testimonial

    "The coordination between therapists at Interconnect is incredibly helpful. OT, speech and behavioral therapy all worked together seamlessly. Our son wasn't bouncing between disconnected services. We saw progress quicker than other providers.”

    Testimonial

    "The parent coaching at Interconnect completely shifted how I approach parenting my neurodivergent son. I went from constantly reacting to his meltdowns to actually understanding him. I learned to see behavior as communication, set boundaries without guilt and advocate for him at school. I'm a more confident, calmer parent now."

    Testimonial

    “I now understand why private pay services can offer great results, our therapist listened to what we actually needed, not what insurance told her to focus on. It made a huge difference and was a great investment.”

    -Parent, former client

  • Light blue and transparent decorative seal or badge shape.

    Testimonial

    “I signed my child up for a social group program and was weary because we’d done so many of these. However, my son really enjoyed his weekly group sessions, which was rare, he typically hates anything social. This speaks volumes to the type of welcoming setting Interconnect thoughtfully created.”
