About Us
Our Approach to Therapy
At Blossom Whole Family Therapy & Child Psychology Center, we understand that when one family member struggles, it affects the entire family. Whether it’s parents managing conflict, children experiencing anxiety or attention challenges, or siblings feeling overlooked, we help families understand these dynamics and provide the right therapeutic support to restore balance and strengthen relationships.
Our licensed child psychologists and family therapists specialize in evidence-based approaches to support children, teens, and parents in overcoming challenges and fostering healthy family dynamics.
History of "Whole Family Therapy"
I’m Dr. Gretchen Lewis-Snyder, and I founded Blossom in 2009 to support children and teens struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, learning differences, and behavioral challenges. I’ve always loved seeing kids and teens become empowered—gaining control over their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Over time, I saw how these individual challenges often affect the entire family. When a child struggles, parents can feel overwhelmed, siblings may experience stress, and family dynamics can become strained. I wanted to create a space where families could receive comprehensive support—whether for a child, a parent, or the entire family system.
That’s why Blossom Child Psychology & Behavioral Health Center evolved into Blossom Whole Family Therapy & Child Psychology Center. Here, families can access a team of specialized therapists who collaborate and communicate to meet each family’s unique needs.
