What Is a Boutique Therapy Office—and Why Aplomb Is One
What Is a Boutique Therapy Office?
A boutique therapy office is a specialized, client-centered practice that focuses on high-quality, personalized care over high volume. Unlike large clinics or agencies that may feel clinical or rushed, boutique therapy offices are intentionally smaller and more tailored. They offer a welcoming, calm environment and direct access to experienced professionals who know your name, your child’s story, and your goals.
At Aplomb, this boutique model is at the heart of everything we do.
What Makes Aplomb Boutique?
We combine the best of education, psychology, and family-focused services in a warm and accessible space. Aplomb isn’t a cookie-cutter practice—it’s a place where:
Children and parents feel seen and heard
Sessions are carefully customized to your needs
You work with a licensed school psychologist with over two decades of experience
Evaluations and interventions are thorough, intentional, and designed for real-world impact
We specialize in psychological and academic testing, short-term solution-focused counseling, play-based therapy (including sandtray), homeschool support, and SEL workshops for both children and parents.
